There is no time to waste. Urgency cannot be understated.

Companies need to convert any greenhouse gas emitting energies to renewable sources as soon as possible. Countries need to adopt alternative energies as well. 
China makes some of the most inexpensive solar panels globally; its cost to replace fossil fuels with renewable energies should be easier than most other countries.

It is not 1960s anymore and the urgency has never been greater. Not to appear ungrateful, but, time is of the essence. No more waiting. The very citizens in countries need relief from this monsterous climate.

Also, representatives of the Chinese government, the world’s No. 1 carbon emitter, released new climate goals that called for a substantial buildup of alternative energy sources like wind and solar. 
To be sure, the executives were self-selective, agreeing to appear on panels because of their interest in embracing climate goals, which are being intensely discussed by representatives of 195 countries at a converted airplane hangar north of Paris in Le Bourget. The deadline for a deal is Friday....
