    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.

      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.

        Reading comprehension on this website.

        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.
