In the light that China will be the top emitter of Greenhouse gas, let see if the environmentalists will put pressure on them that may affect their economic growth.

Their own citizens are already doing that--voluntarily and involuntarily. Some Chinese are dying because of respiration issues caused by the large amount of pollution of Chinese industrialization.

On a side note, the BBC then refers to the United States as the world's largest polluter (the United States is supposed to emit the most greenhouse gases, but has fairly stringent limits on other pollutants being emitted into the atmosphere), when that might be more accurate as a description of the People's Republic of China.

(And on a side side note, the BBC seems to have personally blacklisted from posting on their Have Your Say s. None of the comments sent were particularly offensive, but early on, some were sent several times, and this is apparently spamming (they were sent several times, because on average it takes about four comments sent to get one posted), so that is why they could have blacklisted. They also have not gotten back (via email) whether they indeed have blacklisted the IP address or whether the average has moved to 5+ comments sent for 1 posted. In any case, their failure to respond is very rude. So there's a little rant).
