Just back of the envelope calculation, according to my link the US emitted 400B tons total and China is emitting ~10.8B annually now, so that'd be 37 years with no growth. So yes, the US is in a really deep hole here.
- imtringued 7y agoIt wouldn't surprise me if the Chinese somehow manage to never exceed 400B tons.
- harryh 7y agoThey're already at 200B and the rate is currently at 10B/year and rising rapidly. So I strongly suspect they will.
- titzer 7y agoWhoops, right. I forgot to subtract what they had already emitted. So it puts it more like ~20 years away.
- perfunctory 7y agoDid you also forget to add what US keeps emitting?
