Cities are still far and away most efficient form of living/housing as far as emissions per capita go, compared to suburban sprawl or even townhouse-style settlements. How do these emissions look when normalized by density and economic output? Is there industry within city limits? Is it really a mystery that the largest cities in the world are also responsible for the largest emission outputs? Because this honestly sounds like a non-story by a journalist that doesn't understand per capita terms. Yes, we still haven't decoupled economic output from emissions. Yes, we need to tackle it. What's the proposed solution here? Not having cities? Really thought Reuters would have some editors or standards, rather than publishing sensationalist nothingburgers like this.
