My point is that China has the right idea for addressing the mess they created, but global warming isn't just their issue. Last year 40% of the bee population crashed, look at our drought and extreme weather hitting the west coast after their long time drought is just crazy.

I think at some point the governments of this world are going to have to think about what happens down the road if we don't address the causes of some of this stuff. If however it's about you and yours today and just into tomorrow, sure no reg's. build away, but as usual it's the people at the upper levels making that extra bit of money dealing with another regulation would prevent.

Ok coffees gone, need to load the skis and get going. Thanks for the big dump, hope some ungroomed is left.

Turner and Suffolk Construction put 1000 of people to work that support families . They actually accomplish something tangible instead of what you are used to .
Also if you think putting green roofs in, is a practical solution to climate change, you haven't thought things through too well . Another brilliant solution like those curly light bulbs and ethanol gas 😂 Enjoy the slopes !

I think what the Chinese have resorted to is necessary and I suggested for them building green towers should be a requirement, pretty sure there isn't enough real estate in down town Boston for an extra green tower for every high rise. I keep forgetting that on this forum anyway, God help you if you don't spend an hour thinking about your post, lest it be misinterpreted.

My point on GC's in general in any major city, the owners and upper level management are making a ton of money on any developments in any major metropolitan city, don't think for a minute a little regulation for a green roof or in the case of a green tower in the Chinese cities is going to cut into their profit margins or put people out of work. I worked with a company doing business with all the developers in Boston and have a friend who is a high level PM for Suffolk, they are printing money working on developments in Boston. Prime real estate is so limited now, trust me a new regulation or two to insure there is a green roof, or affordable housing (my son works EMS in Boston and can't afford to buy) for others than those making six figures; isn't going to hurt any of these GC's.

You must probably be in the Trump camp and believe climate change is fake news and therefore what happens in other countries can't possibly affect our weather here.

There should be more green towers, wind, and Nooooks

I like my clean air

There should be no confusing China with a Green Steward

I'm thinking green towers , with the energy and clean water involved to build and maintain would create a net negative ....but that's just me being a realist and I didn't have to spend hours thinking about it . I wouldn't be surprised if fresh water starved Calafornia adopts the regulation though 😂
I'm not sure a lack of greenery is the problem .
I guess that makes me a climate change denier .
