Alan Kohler is right. China is the main culprit, but you can add in India and Russia along with the USA.

As for Australia, we don't have much impact in the grand scheme of things.

Are you saying the new coal plants don't even have scrubbers? That doesn't seem high-tech. Wink

Speaking of the "Green economy" ... I was reminded today that the ban on new ICE cars starts in 2030 (UK and EU).  Shocked

Time to seriously consider ditching that old* ICE car in the driveway. 

* It's only 8 years old though.   Sad

They had to close down industry in Beijing during the Olympics -
