Now
Liberals live in the moment with no realization that things take years if not decades to develop.
lol yup
I'm amazed a reasonable china take appears in the NYT, even more amazed that the comments are mostly not racist/ignorant.
Once again we see how tangible material development is worth more than any amount of propaganda.
The country still accounts for about 30 percent of climate-warming gases, with its vast industrial base and coal fleet responsible for 90 percent of new emissions globally since 2015.
How does this stat work? This is the actual report they cite which is two links deep. On page 18 there are stats for what they call CO2 equivalent emissions. According to change China's share is about 30%, both in 2024 and cumulatively since 2015.
What emissions are they talking about here 90% of which they credit to China? It's not coal consumption because that is about 55% both for 2024 and cumulatively since 2015.
I divided China's change in emissions since 2015 by the global change in emissions in 2015.
(12533.4 - 10355.2) / (40812.4 - 37467.3) = 2198.2 / 3345.1 which is... 65.7%, far from 90 percent. If they mistakingly used the graph of CO2 emissions that excludes other greenhouse gasses it still only gives 74.3 percent.
At this point I give up where they pulled that from 
Sidenote: doing the same for 2023-2024 gives China a share of just 33 percent of increase in emissions.
Typical tankie math, you forgot to account for china bad
Does anybody here know how Vietnam is doing on climate? If China is doing so well, I wonder if Vietnam's doing the same
looks like they're moving in the right direction https://www.vietnam-briefing.com/news/vietnams-new-electricity-law-legal-framework-renewable-energy.html/
