Solution to save the environment: China should separate out Tibet, Xinjiang, and Inner Mongolia as separate independent countries. Hong Kong and Macao too. And then split north-south so that Shanghai and Beijing become their own capitals. Continue this process and eventually the population and emissions of each individual country will be low enough that they can be ignored, thus solving the problem once and for all.
- edflsafoiewq 1mo agoThat is the opposite of what GP said. The point is only the total emissions matter, the climate does not care about "fair" allocations over either people or nation-states.
- tzs 1mo agoThat's a pointless point, because any system to actually control emissions requires allocating them to nation-states, because it is nation-states that actually enforce things on people.
- onraglanroad 1mo agoNo, it's exactly what the GP said: per capita doesn't matter, it's just the size of the country. So split the country up fixes the problem. Yes, it's dumb, but you agreed with it...
