How environmentalists force more world carbon emissions

When manufacturing moves to China, carbon emissions in the west goes down, but emissions in China go up by much more. Total carbon emissions for the world as a whole go up!

If greens were worried about carbon emissions, they'd be demanding a ban on imports of manufactured goods from China.

http://joannenova.com.au/2015/10/factories-in-china-produce-four-times-as-much-co2-as-western-factories/
The USA, EU and Au has placed environmental restrictions on Coal that in essence forced all manufacturing to go off shore to China. Not only does this NOT reduce the amount of CO2 it increase the amount in many ways. Assuming that China production facilities were as efficient as in the USA and EU you now have the CO2 from shipping – no small amount. Next, The energy producing facilities burning coal in China presently are not as efficient as they are in the western nations. Then you need to add in the fact that China presently does not have 1/4 or even 1/3 of the restrictions on the amount of pollutants that is dumped into the atmosphere as the western nations. None of this is addressed in any of the climate conferences, agreements or even by the Environmental proponents trying to save the world.
Look at the JoNova article. The aluminum surrounding that those cheap solar panels made in Chins produces 7 times as much pollution as if it was made in the west! Idiotic beyond comprehension!
Every week I read of another ZERO CO2 producing Nuclear power plant (NPP) shut down by the Environmentalists “Saving The World” and thus forcing the use of natural gas – the Clean CO2. In the EU they are now burning more brown coal than they did in WWII again more CO2.
So Environmentalists of the world PLEASE explain to me how reducing the amount of CO2 in the developing countries by sending all of the manufacturing to third world production like countries and shutting down NPPs is going to save the world? This is like a person trying to put out the fire that is burning down their house with a garden hose while they pay someone else to pour gasoline on the back side of the house. Unbelievable
