Krugman to China: Go Green or Pay the Price

Dr. Krugman tends to get very worked up on issues and his extremism is probably a result of his trip being so recent and will subside a bit over time.

This is a difficult situation because both the Chinese and Krugman make valid and correct points.The Chinese are starting to come around towards understanding the catastrophic effects of their river pollution and are attempting (at least in certain areas) to remedy this problem. They will most likely change their views in fossil fuels over time though it will probably be due to economics rather than morals when that time comes.

The question is will irreversible damage be done to our planet (in part due to the Chinese) by the time that change comes.
