- Claims that eliminating vehicle GHGs wouldn't impact climate change, ignoring the fact that transportation is the largest U.S. emissions source.

It is called GLOBAL warming.  US transportation is not the largest global emissions source.  It probably isn't the largest US source either, but they have switched a lot of power plants away from coal.[/quote]

Meanwhile China is embracing EVs and solar and 2000s technologies while Trump has us propping up 1900s fossil fuel technologies.[/quote]

The question is, is it the case that China is lying about its intentions to trick rubes like you, or are people like you pretending to believe China's lies to try and trick rubes like me into adopting your statist plans?[/quote]

It's no "trick for the rubes" - What China is doing is massive and measurable.

- For the last several years in a row, China installed more solar than the rest of the world combined and is on track to do the same again in 2025
- China's wind and solar capacity hit 1,400 GW in 2024, six years ahead of their 2030 target.
- China's carbon emissions dropped for the first time in 2025, not because of a recession—but because clean energy outpaced demand.
- China leads the world in solar panel manufacturing, wind turbine deployment, and EV adoption.
- Clean energy now drives 10% of China’s GDP, with $1.9 trillion in annual investment and sales.

If what China is doing is a "trick," it’s the most expensive, coordinated, and globally transformative sleight of hand in human history.[/quote]
