“Blah blah blah China is worse though! blah blah blah!!” - people who spend their time here concern trolling about tankies
Two wrongs don’t make a right.
China is at least trying to increase green emissions, but still a massive polluter.
The US is a massive polluter and doubling down.
well if you want hard numbers China produces about 1100GW of energy from coal yearly and the US is sitting at 260GW. so a 7% increase on 260 still deserves what the article says about not coming anywhere near China, even per capita. We would love to see US numbers trending the other direction but the current administration can’t be bothered to interrupt its money grab. China has been holding steady in recent years, which is an accomplishment, but China still uses more coal than the rest of the world combined.
even per capita
Hum… No. Per capita they are basically the same number.
I rechecked my math on that and you’re right, it’s about the same per capita.
