- griffzhowl 1y agoHow does that make sense? The US reduced their emissions by shifting production to China, and China gladly lapped it up (in massive amounts). It would be good to have a graph showing where the ultimate products of these emissions ended up.
- tfourb 1y agoAsk and you shall receive: https://ourworldindata.org/consumption-based-co2 https://ourworldindata.org/consumption-based-co2 You will notice that the picture does not change radically if you include emissions from trade (which is what you were asking). Turns out while China expects a lot of stuff to the us, it doesn’t have that big of an impact on net emissions.
- griffzhowl 1y agoThanks, but what is it supposed to show? Looks like West outsourced their production to the East and this data just shows that?
- anonymars 1y agoI took away from that link that per-capita emissions were 14 something for the US and 8 something for China
- manoDev 1y agoThis graph isn’t telling the history you think it does… China’s population is 4x times the US, and still, total emissions are a little over 2x — and that’s ignoring the outsized impact from exported goods.
