- Global CO2 emissions from coal took off in the early noughties
- Mainly as China and India invested
- Whilst European sponsors and lenders have since moved to renewables
- The US eastern seaboard less so
- This has become a problem in our generation.
So where will the money come from to allow developing Asia to clean up its act more quickly than did the developed World?
