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.
