>Realistically, there is little incentive for China to cut back on coal usage.

How about the 10's of millions of their citizens being poisoned or dying from pollution related illnesses?

>The global economy needs China to keep on growing.

They run trade imbalances with almost the entire world. The Chinese are not the best consumers.

>Germany, arguably the most important economy in the world outside of China, India and the US is nearing recessions because of slowing Chinese consumer spending.

Huh?

>It's difficult to expect China to curb it's growth for the common good when more advanced economies ignored the science for decades

How is China not a 1st world nation? Or not an advance economy?
