The first line states this:

China uses almost much coal as the rest of the world combined:

That chart seems to correlate with China’s emission increases:

- lozenge 9y agoI don't disagree, I'm just pointing out that a lot of China's coal use is to power factories that export goods to the US. If China used anything other than the cheapest energy for their factories, you would be seeing "made in India/some other country more willing to pollute to save us a few cents" a lot more in Wal-Mart.
