China is the biggest polluter and they plan to increase their co2 emissions to at least 2030 so I don't think you'll find an ally there.


Big polluter because it's a giant country. Per capita it's quite low, and there is no reason a big country should be punished why a smaller country that does significantly worse shouldn't. According to that logic if they would split into lots of smaller countries it suddenly isn't an issue anymore.
