    China is the world’s biggest emitter of carbon gases**

    Yeah, because it’s the second-largest population in the world and it’s producing & exporting the world’s products. You don’t get to de-industrialize, import your products, and then chastise your producers for using more energy than you, when they’re using that energy for you.

    China is also the largest green energy user and producer of green energy technology, which it also exports.

    Why are you still spouting off tired, old bullshit that we’ve already investigated and found wanting? Why don’t you just stop now, and investigate before you speak?

    No Investigation, No Right to Speak

    Unless you have investigated a problem, you will be deprived of the right to speak on it. Isn’t that too harsh? Not in the least. When you have not probed into a problem, into the present facts and its past history, and know nothing of its essentials, whatever you say about it will undoubtedly be nonsense. Talking nonsense solves no problems, as everyone knows, so why is it unjust to deprive you of the right to speak? Quite a few comrades always keep their eyes shut and talk nonsense, and for a Communist that is disgraceful. How can a Communist keep his eyes shut and talk nonsense?

    It won’t do!

    It won’t do!

    You must investigate!

    You must not talk nonsense!
