Fair 'nuff, missed that in the article. That said, though, a country of 1.4 billion eclipsing a region of 448 million (based on current population) isn't exactly earth-shattering, especially if you consider that including the UK would put the EU back on top and that the table Carbon Brief provides includes per capita emissions.
Wanna address anything else I said or just the one thing I messed up?
It's nuts how much China has achieved with less than a quarter of the US's cumulative per capita emissions and around half the US's total emissions. I can't see how anyone can look st those numbers and see anything other than a story of massive and tragic waste but I guess that's the power of propaganda.
I genuinely believe that there are good faith arguments and critiques to make of China's green energy policies.
I also genuinely believe that none of these important conversations are going to happen in English, and especially not on a lame social media site. Nor should they.
