So China is actually doing pretty good compared to the USA with the USA having less than a quarter of the population of China and India is doing really good with their huge population.
how can they when their populations are increasing which they have to provide for and any body extra generates carbon emissions. China alone rose by approx 50% of the USA's population in the last 10 years with a per capita that is almost half of USA. China & India will rise for many years. China: CO2 Country Profile - Our World in Data Oops apologies to the OP for high jacking this thread.
2 things for you to consider: 1. Expand your.....um....'knowledge base.' If China's population were increasing, and their economy was healthy then....maybe. BUT......facts are getting in the way again, it would appear. 2. Perhaps move this sidebar discussion to a more appropriate sub-forum. One that does not involve a 2017 Prius with ambitions to be a PHEV with real-world daily range.
