Since China (with the US) is one of the major offenders of fossil fuels, I am curious as to whether we see more dramatic climate change impacts in China specifically, or if that impact is going to be diffused across the world. China is a big country.

Since China is the primary driver of sustainable development globally, I'm excited to see what technology and mitigation strategies they come up with and make available to the world over in the coming decades. China is a big country with huge potential, and they are already making an outsized impact.

Local impacts like smog, yes of course. Global impacts, not really, because they're global.
