      ab: Above all, Yu emphasizes that Chinese criticism of Greta Thunberg does not mean the Chinese are lax in their response to climate change. This article by Kulanthaivelu and his co-authors is precisely the kind of focused investigation that complements the sweeping and universal statements made by Greta and many other climate activists. They attribute oppositon to 1) cognitive dissonance, 2) lack of direct experience of climate change, 3) self-interest, 4) Chinese nationalism that views Western efforts to impose obligations on China as a form of neocolonialism, and 5) the technocentric view that assumes innovation and geoengineering will solve the climate crisis without disturbing our lives. How should society react to climate change?.
