The sweeping report documenting the world’s changing climate released Monday by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) puts a spotlight on China. The report, based on 14,000 studies, highlights the problems the country will face as the climate warms, from increased flooding and droughts to devastating cyclones. But it should also serve as a warning for the Chinese government to cut its emissions more rapidly, some climate policy experts say. Not only impacting the country itself, lagging on pledges to cut their output, China is responsible for more than 1/4 of the world’s annual CO2 emissions.
