When China is the number one producer of greenhouse emissions in the world.
In all fairness, consumerism is a major factor in contributing to climate change. Much of the CO2 generated in China is from manufacturing, and those products being shipped to other countries.
It’ll really all parties involved, western and otherwise who are at fault. I’m incredibly annoyed with my government as they continue to subsidize oil and gas instead of either cutting fossil fuel subsidies or even subsidizing green energy.
If one believes in free market capitalism, they ought to want to cut subsidies to gas and coal altogether, as it’s less profitable than green energy at this point. There’s already plenty of wealth built up in that industry, so why do we feel the need to put more money towards it?
This. You don’t just blame China for greenhouse gas emissions, and conveniently forget that most of the products you use every day are manufactured there.
As if its impossible to just believe everyone is responsible…
China is #1 right now
But the states have contributed the most anyway
Decaying plant matter is the number 1 creator of greenhouse gasses.
Problem is, it’s like if you take two sets of 10 grams and put them on opposite sides of a scale. Every day, you take those twenty grams on in the morning and off in the evening. After a while, one more gram goes on one of the sides. Then two grams. Then three. The scale will be out of balance, even though you’re taking 10 grams off the scale every day.
Earth used to be in equilibrium, but excess emissions put it out of whack
They’ll absolve China of anything. The greenhouse gas they emit? Oh that’s the west paying them to do it. Norway’s emissions from energy that they export to the rest of the world? That’s not the customer’s fault. Shit, if that narrative were without a doubt destroyed I wouldn’t be surprised to see them denying climate change. Communists are unprincipled ideologues for whom any means is justified in delivering the end goal: the enslavement of all humanity.
