That is the reason why nothing changes. Invest in growth, it's popular now. The more people lobby the green interests (don't confuse with any political "green"), the more politics will adapt to them and provide laws to support their beliefs.

Currently this always looks like, hey, X doing Y times more than I do, why I should care? This will not change anything.

Blaming China now is quite not fair, because other countries already caused this global warming, not China, they now just want to grow like the others.

This mindset of modern humans lead to lost of humanity itself. Most of the people don't care about others, they are selfish. Until every bit of climate change hit them personally (like your house underwater, boom!) then they will start to think about that and demand changes.

So "Plan B" will be waiting when this thing will blow into the face of those, but as always this will be too late.
