Xi is pushing climate, study shows

Enabling climate acceleration are economic sectors such as land use, China coal, Saudi Aramco, Coal India, Gazprom (Russia), National Iranian Oil — in that order.
Since 2021, China coal sends more carbon in the air than NATO equities and Arab states combined. The China coal sector is increasing capacity and is delivering 12.7 GtCOe in 2024.

    These things only become meaningful when you look at emissions per capita AND remember that China manufactures large amounts of the world’s stuff. All your iPhone emissions count as China’s because it was manufactured there, but they really belong to your country. Same for loads of other stuff. Careful you don’t fall for the tenor of this article, because it’s probably intended to distract you (“Why should I bother when China is really bad?”) and keep you consuming

      I love Lemmy. I often come in here thinking about the downsides of an article and it’s usually the top voted comment. Contrast with the… other… site… where the top comment is probably racist posted by a bot.
