pete, where does china stand in a list of the worlds leading polluters? you left that statistic out. and you did it for a very specific reason. because it's probably the single most relevant statistic, and you ignored it completely. defending the environmental friendliness of china, is exactly like sean hannity refusing to criticize Trump. kind of funny when you look at it that way.

of course i was being sarcastic, responding to pete’s nonsense.

What metric would you like to use?

Total is skewed because the population of China is 4x USA and it does produce more.

But if you look at it per capita in metric tons of carbon
USA 16.5
China 7.5

if the planet can only absorb a certain carbon output, does per capita matter? or absolute?

Totals always matter, but one needs to set attainable goals and work towards them.

If you did it in totals, you would put China's economy in the bottom 10% of the world. Pretty unrealistic way to look at it. They would not be willing to do that nor would I expect them to. Not sure they could even have the dreaded yurt, though I think some already do. The yurt dwellers likely produce very little in the way of carbon emissions.

China carbon production per cap is roughly 150% of the average of the world per capita.
USA carbon production per cap is roughly 300% of the average......

Brown just got accused of rape he's more like Trump than you're willing to admit that in itself is hilarious .. Mainly because some cant see the comparison and are more outraged over Browns behavior and how it makes the pats look .. But could care less How Trump makes Team America Look ..:cheers:

Emissions Output. The only metric that matters.

Maybe China should give up there plastic straws

Bossman says straws don't matter:bl:

But China also stopped taking our straws, now we send them to someone else who will dump them in the ocean rather than us.

China implemented the National Sword policy at the beginning of 2018 to protect their environment and develop their own domestic recycling capacity by restricting imports of waste. Since exporting plastic waste is a convenient way for the United States (U.S.) and other industrialized countries to count plastic waste as “recycled” and avoid disposal costs and impacts at home, there has been a significant increase of plastic waste shipments to other countries instead of China. Unfortunately, most of our plastic waste is still shipped to countries that are not equipped to safely and securely manage it.

So you equate the alleged rape with Republicans. You see parallels between Trump and Brown because of this. Now every Trump supporter is a rape supporter. Got it. But you don’t have TDS...WONDERFULLY BRILLIANT. Thanks for the explanation

Thanks for adding clarity to your statement. I guess I was not aware you had gathered evidence indicating most Trump supporters wanted Brown off the team.👍🏽
