One of the most common objections I hear to climate action is: “But what about China?”

@thegarbagebird @TorbenI @kathhayhoe

Because it's not a normal country and the regime has a long history of lying and manipulating information to save face. They have fleets of heavily armed, illegal fishing vessels stripping the oceans right off the coasts of countries as far as South America.

A better question to ask is how people have been massaged over the past 20 years into accepting that China is normal and pretending that they are a friend to the environment or human rights.

@contrasocial i know it's very rude but i must go back and how far out of pocket you came. a better question is asking why chevron’s ghost fleets, replete with the same flags and papers, are like, ok @TorbenI @kathhayhoe

@contrasocial @TorbenI @kathhayhoe so it's bad when they do it
