ROFL. Stow the faux benevolence. It's nonsense. Nobody is acting out of the goodness of their hearts in a capitalist transaction. They're choosing to pollute instead of choosing to do other things. That's not for anyone's benefit but their own. The long-term consequences are so well-understood that only the extremely selfish are optimizing for the short-term.
China's choice to build a national highway system instead of a national railway system wasn't done with ecological concerns as the priority. They're, again, choosing to pollute more purely because of the short-run benefit instead of doing something else that optimizes for humanity's collective benefit.
So weird how the supposedly collectivist country isn't acting in all of our best interest. Communism is an idea so good that they'll silence you forever if you disagree.
