  LOOOOOLOLOLOL have you looked at China’s greenhouse gas contributions lately? They don’t give a fuck about the climate, they’re just trying to drive other countries out of the market.

    Chinese carbon emissions may have peaked this year and they’ve deployed more renewables than the rest of the world combined.

      That’s because they’re also heavily subsidizing that industry out of self-interest. That’s the “emerging markets” I mentioned above.

        Which sounds like a good idea for everybody. Maybe other countries should do the same thing.

        I’m no fan of West Taiwan but they’re doing a lot more to decarbonize than most other major economies.

        Oh no, a country acts out of self-interest! A concept that is completely foreign to the West 😱 At least their “self-interest“ has cheaper EVs for the rest of the world as a result. What are the coeffects of the US defending their self-interests? Rise in facism? Another genocide?

        They are subsiding the deployment of clean energy sources?

        Good for them. And good for the world.

      That’s per Capita, China has like 30 billion more citizens.

        Per capita is the measure that counts, why should Americans be allowed to put multiple times more CO2 into the air than other people?

        They also manufacture the rest of the world’s shit. So all in all they’re pretty clean for how big they are.

    Maybe YOU should give another look at those figures.

    Specially the ones relative to the % of new renewables put into production during the last years.
