You don't have to go to bat for china, you know. Does the fact that they have so much manufacturing make their emissions ok? If those manufacturing emissions we're instead from the US, would you make the same note?
- convolvatron 6y agothe point being that an importing country should be held at least partially responsible for the emissions of the manufacturing country. if the importing country made the widgets themselves, their emissions would increase. if the importing country didn't buy the widgets at all then the manufacturing country wouldn't produce them and not emit as much CO2

Ok, so Saudi Arabia is responsible for America's emissions. Russia is responsible for Europe's emissions. America is responsible for China's emissions. But let's just keep playing word games to deflect responsibility from China and make sure it's all America's fault.
