Somehow, I’m sure this is our fault. If we weren’t buying all those Chinese products (which I try to avoid because they’re crap but sometimes everything seems to be made there) there would be no pollution, just peasants happy to till the soil.
No, notice that it’s the “breakneck economic growth, “ that’s being blamed for it, the subtle implication that capitalism is bad.
What they don’t get is that they don’t have to pollute to produce. They’re just lazy and greedy.
