      It’s starting to feel like old Lemmy again with these trash headlines being torn apart

      China literally produces almost 30% of annual CO2 emissions. Maybe you are using the CCPs data, in which they lied for years that they were beating expectations in reduction, when the reality was they had increased emissions.

        You don’t understand what per capita means do you?

        They produce around 30% of the global manufacturing output, so that’s basically one to one. Yet they represent 15% of the world population, meaning half of their production is for the benefit of others.

        How many nuclear plants is the US building right now already?

          I do, and I know that as they continue to emit more that per Capita argument means less and less. They are emitting more each year, and I have no doubt they will cut corners with their reactors. Why? Because they cut corners everywhere else while lieing to your face. That’s what made their Fukushima complaints so hilarious.

          The US doesn’t build enough of them. Wish they would and I continue to argue for more. Lemmy alone is filled with anti-nuke imbeciles thinking they can achieve the same results with solar.

        Ah, because using Western data that claims natural gas emissions are dominated by burning rather than methane leakage are…SO much more reliable.

        If you want to be specific, they make 28.7% (2019) of the world’s manufacturing output. So yes, more than a quarter.

          Thanks for supporting your comments with sources.

          producing most of the world’s goods

          China makes the most goods, but most goods are not made by China. They are the top producer, but produce less than 50% of all goods.
