Regrettably, however, COP26 has also become a site for geopolitical propaganda, primarily carried out by the U.S., to try to obscure the realities on climate change. This attempts to present the situation on climate change as being that the advanced countries, and in particular the U.S., are playing a leading role in the fight against climate change and that it is developing countries, and in particular China, which are the chief problem on climate change. This is shown by media reflecting this propaganda–for example the Financial Times, surveying the conference, declared: “China and India cast pall over climate ambitions ahead of COP26.”
As will be seen this claim is the exact reverse of the truth. It is the advanced countries, and in particular the U.S., which are the chief problem on climate change due to their far higher per capita carbon emissions than developing countries....
Another reason that addressing climate change will be ineffectual.

Not exactly true that "China did not show up." Xi asked to be represented virtually and the request was denied, and China did send Zhao Yingmin, head climate change official.
- After being blasted by Biden for not showing up, China released a statement telling developed countries to do more on climate
- Meanwhile, India, which is currently facing a coal crisis at home, committed to achieving net-zero emissions by 2070, 20 years after the goal set by COP26 organizers
- While China does plan to increase the use of new energy vehicles in the country to hit peak emissions by 2030, its net-zero pledge remains a decade after the 2050 target
