- yorwba 5y agoThat chart puts China between Greece and Spain in terms of consumption emissions per capita.
- bakuninsbart 5y agoChina is changing extremely quickly, but it isn't enough to simply look at imports vs. exports, but also the kinds of products being exchanged. China still produces more cheap and dirty products than it imports, so the net emissions considering imports/exports are lower than gross emissions. The trajectory is clearly in the direction of more emissions for consumption though, which makes sense as China is still growing richer quickly.
