Comment on China hits 1 TW solar milestone
cynar@lemmy.world 4 days agoThey are the largest polluter primarily because we outsourced our polluting manufacturing to them. The politics of that part are a separate issue, but the results need to be factored in. A lot of Chinese pollution is western pollution, outsourced.
They also appear to actually have a coherent plan that seems on track. Could it be a lot better? Of course! It’s still a lot better than a lot of the world is doing.
Please show me somewhere making large scale improvements that aren’t built upon China’s right now.

“We” outsourced manufacturing? No independent private companies moved manufacturing to China because their lab or was cheap and they had no environmental regulations.
They are exploiting this right now by scaling up production to take advantage of the countries that are trying to combat climate change.
They dont have a coherent plan, if you’ve followed chinas climate change journey youd know theyve missed every single milestone and target.
