    Ah yeah, get rid of the country doing more to combat climate change than any other, the one who, if they meet their targets this year, will install more solar panels than the US has ever done. In a single year.

    That’ll totally fix it.

      Not to mention supplying the rest of the world with solar panels, which the US is incapable of doing.

    They’re right, though. If it wasn’t for China, the imperialists could forget about climate change and pretend it isn’t happening. As it is, they need a massive propaganda campaign to try to make us think that the problem wouldn’t exist if it wasn’t for the Chinese and so that people don’t look into what China’s doing, which is quite embarrassing for the west.

      Actually China is the biggest emiter of emissions per capita, what you need to look at is emissions by consumption per capita and there China is pretty low and Usonians are top of the list.

    For a solution to exist it must be materially possible to do first. otherwise its nonsense.

      That is probably because that is how the shp file is organized. All of the borderlines with other countries and the sea are made into a polygon. The data associated with each of these boundaries has a country associated with it. That particular island in the South China Sea is a province of China in the shp file data. Thus removing all polygons associated with china includes Taiwan. The poster would have to go out of their way to modify the shp file to differentiate Taiwan from the rest of China to do what you said.
