China emits about 36 times what we do, partly because they are now by far the biggest manufacturer of world goods, but also because they are wedded to coal fired power generation and are still building new coal fired generators (last year they built more coal power stations than our total generating capacity).
Exactly. Who is really to blame?EVs account for more than 40% of cars in China and in the last quarter, sales of EVs in China overtook ICE cars.
China has enough solar electricity to cover the needs of 1.41 billion Chinese. It's only their industries that need burning fossil fuels and are responsible such huge emissions.
Surely it's as much we in the West for getting them to do our dirty work on the cheap while claiming all manner of false "green" credentials?
The solution is in our hands, producing the things we need in an environmentally responsible way, instead of hiding our dirt the other side of the planet and blaming everyone else.
