Considering that China is responsible for ~25% of cumulative CO2 emissions to date, there's not much difference between the regional and global inputs.

- gchamonlive 1y agoIsn't this 75% less responsibility than total responsibility in case it's only due to regional activities?
- margalabargala 1y agoSure, but 25% of responsibility for something like this is well into "consequences of your actions" territory. If the world had 25% less GHG emissions to date, warming may well still be sub 1C, and the reefs might be fine.
- ethegwo 1y agoRequest the source? I researched and calculated the cumulative percentage of global carbon emissions from major economies since the industrial revolution: - United States: 24% - China: 15% - Russia: 6.7% - Germany: 5.2% - United Kingdom: 4.4% - Japan: 3.8% - India: 3.5% - France: 2.2% - Canada: 1.9% - Ukraine: 1.7% source from Global Carbon Project, is this reliable?

- Someone 1y agoYou must have made a mistake in doing that. If you add “world” to the selection, Our World in Data adds them up for you, and you only have to divide 27253/181000. That gives you 0.1506, very close to 15%. https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/cumulative-co-emissions?tab=discrete-bar&time=latest&country=CHN~OWID_WRL https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/cumulative-co-emissions?t...
- margalabargala 1y agoOops. You're very right. Math error on my part :( thank you for the correction.
