- bryanlarsen 7y agoGiven that US emissions are more than double China's per capita, I only have to believe that China's numbers have less than a 100% error. Satellite monitoring of CO2 emissions has a pretty wide error bar, but it's not that wide.
- quaquaqua1 7y agoAdditionally it just simply makes sense since anecdotally we are aware that many chinese live in extremely rural situations with no heating/cooling, or live in dense buildings with shared resources. These things cost money, and the median Chinese consumer does not have the budget for these items.
