Climate Change

China played the role of naysayer very well at at the Copenhagen climate summit, as the China-led Group of 77 countries raised repeated objections to what they see as the economic and environmental tyranny of the industrial world. China invoked procedural grounds to reject an attempt by the Danish presidency to put forward draft outcome texts, which the Chinese delegate called "some texts from the sky". China also opposed the carbon tariffs proposed by some unnamed "individuals and international organizations".
