    The time to begin reducing emissions was 20 years ago. They’ve almost caught up to the US’s 170 years of damage dealt in 40 years. Are we just suppose to allow every country to do this? Can india do the same for the next 20 years with no complaints from you? My country isnt industralized should we get rid of our emission targets. After the first climate conferences countries may not have been all hitting their targets but they werent blatantly disregarding them and doing the complete opposite except china of course because even though they’re one of the highest GDP in the world and already industrialized they get the pollution pass because they’re a dictatorship.

    The only impressive thing is how much damage they’ve done in such a short time.

      Again. You don’t seem to understand the comment I’m making.

      Are we just suppose to allow every country to do this?

      I am not arguing this.

      Can india do the same for the next 20 years with no complaints from you?

      Nor this.

      My country isnt industralized should we get rid of our emission targets.

      Nor this.

      I’m not saying China isnt polluting or should be allowed to continue polluting or anything of the sort. You’ve literally just made that up out of think air in order to have an argument.

      Please learn to read.

        Your original reply is dumb though. There is nothing to suggest they’re in the tail end of industrialisation and thats not even and excuse or anything to be impressed by. Like wow look how fast they were about to become the biggest polluter in the world its crazy what you can do with zero environment regulations. But dont worry they will stop now that theyre 40% of global emissions and have raised global temps by 2c.

        Good job china I clap. Can’t wait for India to do the same and put the final nail in our coffin.

          ??? What? That’s just a fact?

          Like wow look how fast they were about to become the biggest polluter in the world its crazy what you can do with zero environment regulations. But dont worry they will stop now that theyre 40% of global emissions and have raised global temps by 2c.

          Do you not understand the concept of scale?

          Like yes China has the most emissions (primarily due to be the manufacturing hub of the world) but also has by far the most renewable capacity of any country on earth 3x more than the next highest country and counting for about 40% of the worlds total renewable capacity. And they have achieved that in an astonishing amount of time.

          That’s the thing I’m praising, that theyve made such huge progress in such a short amount of time. Compare them to any other large country in the last 10 years and the difference is stark.
