The rapid economic growth of China has caused pollution around the world. China is the largest emitter of CO2 and caused 20% of greenhouse emissions. The industrial expansion was fueled by fossil fuels, coal, and oil. This contributed to the emissions and other pollution. Hydroelectric power causes pollution when the dams are built.
