To be fair, until China does something about their emissions, the rest of us are just pissing in the ocean.
- blitzar 2y agoDon't shit in your own back yard, no matter what other people like to do.
- doix 2y agoEh, per capita China has lower emissions than the US whilst manufacturing and exporting significantly more. Everything is intertwined and tightly coupled, such simple statements are rarely accurate.
- alt227 2y agoUS need to sort their shit out as well.
- sofixa 2y agoChina is actively working on reducing their emissions (they're building tons of nuclear and renewables, and have long term plans for both), and a lot of theirs are to manufacture stuff the whole world uses.
- alt227 2y ago> manufacture stuff the whole world uses I would argue that the world wouldnt use as much stuff if China stopped manufacturing it
