It's easy for me to say, but now is the time to stubbornly live and be present and visible and together. They want you dead, defy them.

A big portion of every country is rural, you're not making the case you think you're making.
Let's look at other differences: China is still largely a manufacturing economy whereas the United States is a service economy.
They've built more rail transit in recent years than the United States has even attempted.
Their EV market share is significantly higher.
Seems the only thing you learned in school is blind nationalism
True I should thank you for teaching me that per capita statistics are useless for comparing nations.
You should go public with this information
dude you're such a huge asshole. USA! USA! USA! keep building multi-decade lifespan LNG shipping infrastructure for your "bridge fuel" and suppressing cheap green energy.
Keep electing leaders paid for by fossil fuel companies
USA! USA! #1
did you get lost? I'm done with you
You're here being an asshole with a chip on your shoulder so I'm giving you the same energy. Comparing the total output of a 2 billion pop nation with a nation 20% of that size is a pretty dumb way to compare statistics and the progress of a country's green transition.
I can't give you a stats curriculum on lemmy when you are also being a huge dick.
Buddy is a Western Patriot fighting the good fight. Go get em tiger, your emotional zeal is steadfast in the face of data and logic. America is truly amazing and the best at climate. You caught a vuvuzelan spy working for Xi.
How is it appropriate to make comparisons between nations without normalizing for the population?
Frankly, accusing me of manipulation makes me no longer care what you have to say. You can fuck off.
What you're bringing up, even if true, would be explained equally well by population density.
China's per capita emissions are lower than the US and Canada https://www.worldometers.info/co2-emissions/co2-emissions-per-capita/
They're also innovating and leading in solar technology and cheap EVs.
You're pointing at subjective and anecdotal "evidence" where are your hard stats?
China's per capita carbon emissions are lower than the United States and Canada https://www.worldometers.info/co2-emissions/co2-emissions-per-capita/
ok educate me. On the topic of climate in which ways has (or will) the United States be better? I'd appreciate the optimistic perspective.
Does the argument extend beyond China bad?
People could tell you how this reasoning doesn't really add up, but as long as you don't think you'll injure yourself I think you should try and see if you can spot it
