And China too with its ~30-31% of world CO2.
- John23832 1y agoChina is leading the world in renewable energy production. Nuclear buildout, wind farms, solar farms. There's even some minor thermal (even though they're not geographically suited for that). Sure, they are starting from a high number as the worlds manufacturer, but they're are clearly making strides that the other major industrial nations (the US) are not.

- simmerup 1y agoConsidering America is literally promoting fossil fuels over renewables and the US administration is publicly saying climate change is a scam, I think America deserves more flack than China here

- DangitBobby 1y agoProduction rates are subject to change. China is showing it wants to move towards a future where it emits less CO2 and the US recently elected and appointed cronies to take us in the opposite direction.
- ahmeneeroe-v2 1y agoCO2 emissions by country: China vs US. Number only.
- DangitBobby 1y agoNo idea, if you read my comment you'd understand that's not what I think matters.
- ahmeneeroe-v2 1y agoThat is not a serious position, that is a political position.
- DangitBobby 1y agoOk lol
- tonfa 1y agohttps://ourworldindata.org/data-insights/which-countries-have-contributed-the-most-to-historical-co-emissions https://ourworldindata.org/data-insights/which-countries-hav... I would be surprised if China ends up dumping more CO2 than the US (and then if we look at per capita, even more so).
- ahmeneeroe-v2 1y agoCO2 since 1750! This isn't serious. Who is currently today doing the thing? china Does the climate care about per capita? no
- tonfa 1y agoWhat matters is how much CO2 was dumped in the atmosphere (and to stop doing it, China is transitioning, the US administration tells everyone it's a scam...)
- ahmeneeroe-v2 1y agoIt doesn't matter because it's done. There is nothing we can do about it, only about the present. China is presently the worst CO2 emitter.
- simmerup 1y ago> In 2024, the U.S. emissions were on the rise, whereas the European Union (EU) was decreasing its emissions. The U.S. contributes about 13.5% of global annual emissions, whereas the EU's share has fallen to approximately 6%. I don't even understand what you're tyring to say, America is taking climate change seriously in your eyes?
- mikestew 1y agoCan't have a discussion on climate change without the obligatory "But what about Chiiiiina!?" It's time to own up to the fact that China is going out of their way to use renewables, and the U. S. is actively sabotaging renewable energy programs. Whining about China is starting to look pretty silly.
- xandrius 1y agoLet's forget how they make almost everything we and you own. Until not long ago, they very likely even processed your own trash.
- lm28469 1y agoLook at cumulative co2 emissions though, the US created 50% of the global cumulated co2 emissions alone
