Golf courses are a waste of land, as compared to other sports.

When all the others are raising theirs thats a wonderful result.

China has surpassed the US as the world’s largest producer of carbon dioxide, the most important greenhouse gas.

Surging demand for energy in the world’s most populous nation has lead to a surge in construction of coal-fired power stations, pushing China’s production of CO2 to 6,200m tons of CO2 last year, compared with 5,800m tons from the US.
and the EU and UK are also increasing their carbon output so well done Bio,take a bow.

China's emission won't likely to stop either, the country hasn't even reach near the kind of industrialisation as those in the US, UK and Europe. Worst is yet to come from China fueled by investments from the West.

They are finding newer ways to trade in nature. Though this one is probably more workable, and fairer.
