... And the countries that are enabling this pollution. It's interesting to look at the long term trends, especially when looking at some of the largest economies on the planet. Comparing the US[0] and China[1], the US has: - Decreasing per capita emissions in the US starting in 1973 (-27%) - A decrease in the countries emission starting in 2007 (-13%) Meanwhile for the same period China has had - a 7x increase per capita since 1973 (+532%) - 48% increase for its global emissions since 2007 If a country decides to impose a burden on itself by doing the right thing and going green (like the EU and US are doing) then China can just bring on more coal plants online to bring the price of their goods down and crush the competition. Nobody in the western world can compete with that. It's time we start holding governments accountable and impose tariffs and immigration quotas on misbehaving countries.
