1. China emits more carbon today than the US, EU, and India combined and built more coal plants last year than in any prior year. 2. China's new-energy vehicles (EVs, PHEVs) hit record-high sales this year and makes ~20M a year. easy to draw different conclusions about the same country by reading only 1 or only 2.

I’m not sure this is still the case, but for a while because the pollution was so bad they used to broadcast the sunrise. They say that the air quality in Beijing is so bad it’s the equivalent of smoking about a pack and half of cigarettes a day. What are your thoughts on pollution in developed nations?

Highlights the importance of having a global perspective on different narratives, depending on who is speaking. I've been using "GroundNews" lately that does this quite well, giving headlines/factuality/political party... etc so allows to have a wider view and taking a step back on topics.

On a per-capita basis, though, China emits 1.7x less than the US. It’s important to normalize given the demographic asymmetry (China has 4.2x the US population). On a cumulative basis, China has emitted 312 Gt CO2 to date, slightly higher than EU (303 Gt CO2) but far less than the US (532 Gt CO2) over the same record-keeping period. Then there here’s also the fact that ~15% of China’s CO2 emissions come from the production of exported goods, which adds to their carbon balance sheet but minimizes that of destination countries (US and EU mostly, which have outsourced much of their pollution to China in doing so). Last one — I believe your numbers for coal-fired plants are for 2023. Last year (2024) China cut down new permits by 83%. I’m only adding this because I think it allows for even more conclusions to be drawn

When you add point three, that China is “one country, two systems” and ponder this for a minute, you’ll eventually get the full picture.

actually 2 makes a lot of sense in light of 1 their push for EV is not environmentally motivated. it's motivated by their fossil fuel needs.

a true paradox of progress. Somehow i think their push for EVs will offset their carbon emissions in the long run

Reality compiles in paradoxes. The same nation running coal.exe is also beta testing the future.exe. In tech evolution, contradictions are often the most reliable progress bars. 🏭⚡️
