During the week long United Nations meetings in China, climate change appeared to be an important topic. The United States and China kept accusing each other for willing to curb their greenhouse gas emissions. Both the U.S. and China are the two leaders in greenhouse gas emissions. Environmentalists are blaming each country for this lack of progress because both countries are worried about themselves more than the planet.
The U.S. is claiming that China and other developing nations are committed to curbing their emissions and have them monitored by the UN. China is saying that the U.S. and other rich countries should have to do more since they are more responsible for this problem.
It seems to me that China and the U.S. are acting very immature about the whole thing and need to grow and take responsibility for their actions. Big deal if you get blamed for the most greenhouse gas emissions or being responsible for the problem. The more important thing to is suck it up and start fixing it, otherwise time is just being wasted. I can understand that no one wants to look like the bad guy, but I would rather look like a bad guy than be the one who does not confess to their problems and try to fix them.
