Nothing shows real commitment to fighting climate change like blocking affordable electric vehicles and solar panels, while still subsidizing fossil fuel industries.
it’s always a certain group of people…
Now do emissions per capita! Something in this graph is suspicious to me with Canada being so low compared to other data I’ve seen.
Consumption is also important to account for countries (UK) that consumes products produced offshore (China)
On a per capita basis, China doesn’t even make the top 20. Interestingly, the data are out there but no one seems to have made a visualization yet. I’ll take a crack at it later.
I think Canada just gets away with having a tiny population - at 38 million, they’re at roughly 5% of the combined US/EU population. Higher cumulative per capita emissions than the US, though.
If I am correct, I remember hearing about how China is one of the biggest investors towards going green.
Almost certainly the biggest. The things I’ve seen in China are mind-blowing. We were on the road and I thought I was looking at the sea, or a lake. Turned out it was a huge solar farm at the base of a mountain. It took us about 20 minutes to drive past it at around 100km/h. It was still being built. This was in Xinjiang. They have wind farms that stretch for tens to hundreds of kilometres too.
