    China is currently building twice as much grid scale renewable energy as the rest of the world combined?

      How about their political influence abroad? Supporting fascists, far right and other conservatives is not helpful for the environment.

            Yes and no, it’s all part of the same worldview debate

          No, we’re not playing any game.

          Russia is of course the military friend, but I wouldn’t expect them to become a progressive environmental force anyway.

          Clearest connections are with Hungary and euro parties such as AfD, True Finns, etc. One could argue that the net effect is not huge to prop up climate change deniers to obstruct governments around the globe, but it does raise eyebrows.

          The US did not blow up the Nordstream pipeline, the Ukrainians did. We get your point though, china good everyone else bad via literal whataboutism.
