I would hope so given how much pollution they’re responsible for. They should have already been there or at least been close. Europe’s at 50% now and China is still on par with the US who’ve been run by a child rapist for the better part of a decade.
Worth noting the US is still ahead on total cumulative emissions, and if you adjust per capita (which is only fair), China doesn’t even hit the top 20.
Meanwhile, they installed more solar than the rest of the world combined last year.
Like, I’m not absolving them, they could be doing more, but right now they’re embarrassing us on how fast they’re pivoting.
Your image shows US as 434 billion and china as 285, which is a smaller gap than my source, but not completely different. It’s weird it’s not listed in order.
Which doesn’t change my original assertion about the US having higher cumulative emissions, but does change the scale of the difference a bit, and discusses whether China will ever overtake the US (looks like it might be a toss up)
By that logic why would any country have to reduce emissions. Reduce emissions nah im on the tail end of industrialisation so im not gonna do that. Im sure global warming will be happy to wait because we all know once you finish industrialisation emissions hit 0.
They still have to reduce emissions and in the last few years they’ve built tons of renewables.
My point was that their progress so far is actually very impressive considering they are still in the process of industrialisation. It was bit me saying they don’t need to do anything else.
But China is reducing emissions, what are you on about? China has a disproportionate amount of the world’s production capacity, if it reduced that it’d have massive worldwide economic ramifications (meaning other countries wouldn’t have the money to reduce emissions either).
They have never reduced emissions only reduced emission growth and only by single digit % only to increase it the next year. I dont care about how much they’re producing they choose to produce that and therefore they are responsible for those emissions same as everyone else.

Where are you getting that info? This is two years old and China downplays emission data.

My source is:

As far as I know carbon brief are well respected and not a Chinese puppet, but I admit I that doesn’t mean they’re completely correct.
Edit: I see now that’s a little out of date. 2021.
They have an updated one from 2024, https://www.carbonbrief.org/analysis-chinas-emissions-have-now-caused-more-global-warming-than-eu/

I mean China is still in the tail end of industrialisation, the fact they’ve come this far in such a short amount of time is astonishing.
