China's exports are actually flat at this point, yet their emissions are exploding. They have 1bn people who want to be richer. There is enough internal demand now that will mean emissions will rise without exports to the west.
Have you seen the graph or how emissions have fallen for the US and EU in the last 5 years, yet every year more emissions are added by china than those put together?
- smcin 3y agoIf China were to keep depending on coal. In 2020 China has pledged to become carbon neutral by 2060, they will be under pressure to do better than that. > Have you seen the graph or how emissions have fallen for the US and EU in the last 5 years, What, including Covid, when the west temporarily turned off coal-power stations? Better to compare 2023 to 2019 numbers.
