US-China CO2 Emissions

What are you on about, China is way behind the US in emissions per per capita:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_carbon_di...

Chinese CO₂ emissions per capita are only about 60% as much as the USA, but in the past 25 years US per capita emissions have dropped by about a third and Chinese emissions per capita have almost tripled and are still rising rapidly. Considering that China is about 4 times as populous as the US, this is a huge problem for the world. (US emissions are also a huge problem; we all need for them to decrease very quickly.)

China emits less than half as much CO2 as the USA per capita, according to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_carbon_di...It's interesting to see that there are several countries that emit more per capita than the USA, including Canada and Australia. Maybe the USA should stop trading with those countries?

You've got to be kidding...United States per-capita CO2 emmisions are 17.5 tons per year vs China's 6.18, and that's not even taking into account the fact that China emits a lot of CO2 producing cheap products to sell to the US.https://cotap.org/per-capita-carbon-co2-emissions-by-country...

Why pin this on American voters? Doesn't China emit about 2x more CO2 into the atmosphere than the US?

>US emissions per capita keep falling while China’s keep skyrocketing.It's sus to ascribe countries as bad emitters because they're developing higher QoL instead of choosing to be stuck as subsistence shitholes with low per capita emissions. The only way for countries to stay at subsistence/developing per capita emissions is to stay susbsistent/developing. Of course some wierd people think that's fine.A fairer description is PRC's moderate per capita emissi

per-capita China emits about half of what the US does.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_carbon_di...

Nope. Look at the consumption CO2 emissions:https:/&#x

An average American produces 14 tons of CO2 and an average Chinese person produces 9. Of those 9, he produces 3 at work, building TVs that are then bought by US consumers.US/Canada/Australia have the worlds highest emissions per capita, except oil states like Kuwait. They have no moral high ground to lecture anyone about climate change.If you disagree that we should consider population size when we compare emissions, I am open to that idea.In that case we can make similarly ab

No, the US is responsible for 15% of global CO2 emissions. China emit around twice as much (with around 4x the population), but their emissions aren't growing over the last 10 years. In fact, they have increased their energy consumption by a lot in that decade (commensurate with becoming much richer), partly with renewables and partly by replacing bad uses of fossil fuels with better ones. Neither is their population growing. India and Africa together emit less than the US for around 6x the
