He posted another giving clarity. No surprises, it was China loving around in the South China Sea

when people can't erase stuffs, they do the opposite. flood the internet with useless BS and conspiracy theories that contradicts themselves. China did exactly that for a whole decade already, if not more

China produced 27% of all carbon pollution in 2019, more than double the US

quote:

Over the last few years, China’s growing carbon emissions have drawn the attention of leaders from around the world. In 2018, the Communist Party lifted a ban on the construction of new coal plants, and its policies have become more generous in years since. Though China has installed a large number of solar panels and wind turbines, fossil fuels still power the vast majority of its industries and transportation modes. Its electrical grid is particularly carbon-intensive—half of the world’s coal is burned inside China’s borders.

China counters that it's within its rights to burn such vast quantities of fossil fuels since developed countries did the same over the past few centuries. The country is not entirely wrong: Developed economies have produced the most cumulative emissions since 1750, around 1,000 gigatons. But China’s rise means it has swiftly become the largest contributor in recent years. The country emitted 52 megatons of carbon dioxide and equivalent greenhouse gases in 2019, according to a report by the Rhodium Group, and has emitted a cumulative 200 gigatons since 1750.

Britain’s population at like peak coal burning was around 10 million, which is a far cry from 1.5 billion people burning coal to power their lives and industries.

Yeah. They are right, it's unfair, but tough poo poo. We can't keep doing that anymore.

In my ideal world, not only would the rich countries be crash decarbonizing, but they'd also be paying a lot to build green energy in developing countries so they can modernize without the vast pollution. I think it's completely fair that the countries that benefited from cheap fossil fuel development back when that was possible helps the rest of the world get over the hump without it. But, lol at that actually happening.

Its messed up but not exactly surprising that the CPC shoulders so much of the fault for global warming.

They dont even have the russians' excuse of carbon emissions being their main economic activity via fossil fuel wealth, or that global warming will make their country better for the people who live in it by thawing and greening currently barren desolate places. Developed China is coastal China and rising seas will be ruinous.

Obviously it's imperative for China to reduce greenhouse emissions but it's a bit rich to compare their emissions to America's in a favourable light.

does it really make sense to compare per capita numbers? individual contribution to carbon dioxide release is rather uneven. if you want to own the US and Europe it'd be better to point out that the many of products produced via all that carbon output are exported and consumed by those wealthy countries.

It’s been a while but I think it was more popular than Pepsi by a lot. It’s popular.

In Chinese it’s called CAN MOUTH CAN HAPPY and it’s signature color is red so it had a significant leg up there I think.
