Do we need China%26#039;s help? in reducing the world%26#039;s greenhouse emissions?

I know china has been putting more and more cars on the road at staggering rates.

Do we need china, and what effect will these new cars have on the world?

SOURCES REQUIRED China passed the U.S. in 2006 in terms of CO2 emissions.

I am more concerned about the actual pollutants that China is putting into the environment as a by-product of its rapid growth. We have all seen the Beijing smog during the Olympics, and most water sources in China are terribly polluted. A lot of the scrap electronics that we get rid of in the West end up being taken apart in Chinese villages, and the heavy metals and other poisons in them end up in the groundwater, rivers, and food supply.

What we really need to work with China on is reducing overall pollution, rather than focusing narrowly on the %26quot;greenhouse gas%26quot; craze. If we don%26#039;t, we may end up living in a world where the CO2 levels in the atmosphere are low, but in which our groundwater is undrinkable, fish are uneatable (do to high levels of heavy metal), and the air is unbreathable. http://www.oneofusiswrong.com/index.php?...

No, it has to do with NAFTA. So the losses and gains are in part to do, with America%26#039;s cooperate greed. But think about this, who%26#039;s really going to pay for it?

Somehow I don%26#039;t think China is interested in lowering its growth or standard of living.
