Poland climate change

The climate conference in Poland ended this week with promises to save the planet but words alone will not do it. Most of the industrialized countries are still adding to the problem especially those countries that rely heavily on coal. China gets 70% of its energy from coal and India is at 56%. India imports 45% of its energy needs and the US could be sending them natural gas. CO2 emissions in the United States are lower than they were 20 years ago even though the population has increase by 50 million. This is primarily due to changing power plants from coal to natural gas. This much more could be accomplished in a short time just by moving the transportation industry over to natural gas. I have said this so often but I am like a voice crying in the wilderness.
