It makes absolutely no logical sense.

"saving the planet from global warming won’t come at the expense of China’s economic growth or the comfort of its people."

That's like saying saving the house from collapse won't come at the expense of living and sleeping in the collapsed house??????????

Well if the planet gets so hot people can't live on its surface, then you have no China, no economic growth and no comfort for its people. Stupid is as stupid says it is. Does he think China is on another planet?
