I don't think China gets enough credit for it's efforts to combat global warming. They are the largest emitter of GHG by far, but it's not like they are sitting on their hands. I get a lot of "well they should do something before we have to" and then I read articles that talk about what they are doing.

The city of Foshan is in the middle of China's manufacturing heartland. It may be big and noisy, factories gushing consumer products and pollution, but its new city bus glides along almost silently, producing no pollution at all. The bus runs on hydrogen fuel cells, unique Canadian technology made in Vancouver by Ballard Power Systems, now installed in engines produced locally by a Chinese partner and investor. Ballard has a contract for 300 buses in two cities here.

A study by the environmental group Greenpeace found that last year, all of China's additional energy needs were met by green energy, as its growth outstrips the use of coal and oil. In fact, the level of coal-generated electricity has declined for three years in a row.
