To your question I would answer that the glass is filling up. For instance, yesterday China announced it TRIPLED its wind energy goal with no less than 100 GW by 2020. By the time we reach the Copenhagen meeting, more countries will have moved more forward and so will have China. Keep up the good work ! Another great article, many thanks Julian.

China is neither all green nor all black, but a very nuanced shade of gray. Balanced stories take longer to write and do not lend themselves to punchy headlines. Some of those who paint China as an environmental cesspit, have a broader anti-China political agenda; some of those who paint China as a green Nirvana want to embarrass the US with its inaction or curry favor with China's leadership. The real story is a complex one, but undeniably, in the long run, progress is being made (its perhaps not a leap forward so much as series of fits, starts, and occasional backsliding). In any event, thanks for setting the record straight. Very sage advice Julian. China is neither all green nor all black, but a very nuanced shade of gray.
