you know better than this. raw numbers don't mean shyt when they have 4x the population. per capita is what matters when you want to compare countries, so click on the sort link by emission per capita and you'll get a more accurate representation of "doing our part."
Im wondering if this will be the case. It would be the some of the best evidence for anti climate folks to see.
Per capita is dangerous because chinas pollution is so concentrated that averaging it out over the entire population allows their lack of concern for this “apocalypse” to go unnoticed/unchecked.
IF violent hurricanes become the norm, I wonder how many times we are gonna rebuild islands/communities in harms way... we certainly can’t reverse the climate damage in any reasonable timeframe.
Y’all so quick to point the finger at America and praise/give passes to these communist states
i'm not giving them a pass, but trying to frame this as a "well look at them, we're doing our part" argument is foolhardy when we clearly aren't doing our part. regardless of how bad they are (and they are bad) you can't claim we're doing our part when if our population was the same as theirs it would have worse results. it's not like china doesn't acknowledge they have a problem and are attempting to do something about it. our present govt thinks shyt is sweet and rely on smart dumb stats like "look at their raw output before you talk about us."Y’all so quick to point the finger at America and praise/give passes to these communist states
Being communist places a greater responsibility on their government for corporate pollution than could ever exist in a capitalist society like America...
Trump got y’all turnin anti America
It will eventually have to be said that those type of communities are unsustainable long term. The fukkery that would come out of that decision
Particulate matter is different from CO2 emissions breh. US is top 10 in emission per capita aPer capita is dangerous because chinas pollution is so concentrated that averaging it out over the entire population allows their lack of concern for this “apocalypse” to go unnoticed/unchecked.
10 most polluted cities in China/USA
But we should spread the pollution out over the millions of goat farmers to get a clearer picture...

If we wait to confirm if it's apocalyptic, isn't it kinda too late by that point ?
Was never part of the “it isn’t happening crowd” , I was and still am in the middle where it’s much worse than deniers claim but not as world ending as the other end claims... and I wasn’t prepared to throw billions at the problem without knowing it’d have a meaningful effect... so I supported the Paris agreement pullout.
