China is far better at long term societal planning. Ultimately, I expect they will be the ones who can solve the climate crisis, after being one of the biggest contributors to the problem.
- cubefox 11mo agoActually by far the biggest, in terms of total greenhouse emissions (30% of the world). Though other countries emit a lot more per capita.
- fmajid 11mo agoSure, but most of that is from industrial production, and really should be debited on importing nations’ CO2 accounts. Whereas in the US transportation, heating and construction are the main consumers.
- cubefox 11mo agoImporting nations are already paying for the imports themselves, from which China profits. It seems reasonable that this leaves the responsibility for the energy used on China's side.
- fmajid 11mo agoIf you believe that, you also believe that shipping landfill or toxic chemicals to third-worlf countries absolves us for responsibility over them.
- lossolo 11mo ago> after being one of the biggest contributors to the problem. How many "Made in China" products do you have at home right now? Who is contributing to the problem?
