[QUOTE="Gene2memE, post: 76160002, member: 341130"] [B] Nope. [/B] China's share of global CO2 emissions is about [URL='https://ourworldindata.org/co2-emissions']27% to 33%[/URL] (for 2020, depending on who is doing the measuring). Which means the rest of the world produces about two to three times more. On a per capita basis, China's emissions are about 6.5 to 7.5 tonnes per year. Which means it averages less than half of the per capita emissions that Western countries do. Oh, and one of the reason why China's emissions are so high is that it makes so much stuff for the rest of the world - about 20% of its economy is just producing things for the rest of us. Particularly lots of the dirty, dangerous and polluting stuff that the West outsourced in the 1990s. Oh, and China is moving to reduce its footprint: [LIST] [*]China is the world's fastest adopter of solar power and the largest producer of solar and wind energy. [*]China is the world's largest producer of energy from renewable sources. [*]China has been the world's largest investor in renewables energy and renewable R&D for the last eight years running. China [*]China's national investment in renewables was nearly 50% greater than US investment in 2019. [*]China produces about 27% of its total energy from renewables. The US is a mere 12%, and the EU is 20%. [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
