Would someone like to explain why the Chinese (if as you say produce 30-35% of global emissions) don't appear to see a problem or at least if alluding to it as they do, fail to do much about it as major contributors of emissions? And then of course there are the countries proud of a relative lack of emissions who are merely exporting the problem to somewhere else, often enough, China.
- youngtaff 7mo agoYes, they're still burning coal and gas but China are making huge strides in non CO2 intensive electricity generation China are the reason solar has become so affordable for the rest of the world
- tlogan 7mo agoThe latest major IEA estimate says China’s CO₂ emissions reached 12.6 Gt in 2023, up 4.7% from 2022. On the other hand U.S. CO₂ emissions decreased slightly between 2022 and 2023. About 2–3% (from 4.79 to 4.68 Gt) I just do not understand how we can claim any kind of progress here.
