Of course there has to be a sore loser China bad commenter with some made up BS

Oh so I don‘t have to worry about China‘s increasing emissions output because they use unhinged mass surveillance and terror against the people to put a band-aid on it. Cool…

I would be happy for sensors at traffic lights that detect whether cars are there or not. I don’t consider that to be meaningful surveillance.
CosmoNova@lemmy.world 1 month ago
But they already have sensors. That‘s not what China differentiates from the rest here.

Did you read the article? Standard traffic cameras or sensors are all you need to implement this. And yes, most places have the technology already in place to do most of it. You just need to add the part to network them and control the lights.

Doesn’t China emit like half the amount of carbon per capita compared to the US?
Bloomcole@lemmy.world 1 month ago
Yes, and they are by far the best in green energy
carbonbrief.org/analysis-record-surge-of-clean-en… And it would be even worse for the US and others if they would produce all the stuff they out now outsource to China.
It’s a typical Chinophobe ‘at what cost’ commenter.
There is literally nothing they can do right.

China has a very large capita.

What’s your solution to that
finitebanjo@lemmy.world 1 month ago
It’s not that there should be a solution per se, more that it impacts their emissions per capita. When person density goes up average per person emissions go down, simple as.

China already “solved” it with the one child policy. They will have the most massive population decline ever in the coming decades. It will probably destroy their economy.

One issue with that is China is still a heavily bike and moped driven country. The issue is when more of their population is able to afford cars. So they could still “catch up”.
