      How come the US of A had way larger emissions in the second half of the nineteenth century ?

    5. lawrotzr on

      US emissions are ridiculously high though, considering that the US has less than half of the population of Europe. Insane.

      Yeah but us Europeans are saving the world by crippling our economies with high energy prices so we’re still winning :)!!!!

      Remember that every single thing we do to curb our emmissions like banning internal combustion engines or plastic straws or getting those insanely annoying attached caps on bottles will all be completely meaningless because the rest of the world will not play along.

      Someone tell the Irish Green Party so they can finally stand down from politics.

      China’s emissions on a per capita basis remain significantly lower than those of most European countries and the United States. Besides, speaking of cumulative emissions, Europe began industrializing in the 18th and 19th centuries, well before China. This earlier start means Europe has had a much longer period of high emissions.

      Add to the above, a substantial portion of China’s emissions comes from the production of goods exported to Europe and other regions. So, should emissions be attributed to the producer or the consumer?

      Congrats China, we had a 100 years head start but you still managed to beat us.

      The graphic says European Union, not Europe. Which countries are actually included? It’s a bit disingenuous to leave the UK out of European emissions tallies.

      Duh! China is producing plastics, steel, electronics, and clothes for the rest of the world.

      I love how the chart flatlines us all oh at about 2070. Is that when the earth melts into oblivion and we stop emitting?

      From manufacturing all the goods that we in the USA and Europe demand. Right? The lifestyle of the average Chinese citizen is a fraction of the carbon footprint of an American.

      Only higher now? Right. If you believe that “data” I feel sorry for you.

      So if China manufactures something and sells the product in Europe. Where are the emmissions for this product counted?
