The responsibility is on the government to create policies that discourage or tax carbon emissions.

Yeah, but they've mostly been bought by lobbyists. Si there's that.

The "communists" (hardly...) are bought by lobbyists?

I think you might have misinterpreted the context. I was referring to Canada's and the US government's.

Honestly, in comparison, China has been making much bigger efforts to curb emissions than all of North America combined. They've invested in public transit, planted more trees and heavily invested in an pushing EVs and many other steps to reduce their carbon emissions and even try to do more carbon capture.

Sure, their power plants are powered by coal but they're working on changing that as well.

And that's coming from someone who isn't a particularly big fan of China. (Me)
