Major Polluters U.S. and China Not Invited to Speak at UN Climate Ambition Summit - Lemmy

Your daily reminder that despite producing most of the world’s goods, China isn’t even near the top generator of CO2 per capita.
In what reality does China even get close to making a quarter of the world’s products let alone “most”?
If you want to be specific, they make 28.7% (2019) of the world’s manufacturing output. So yes, more than a quarter.
That has changed since COVID. They are under a quarter as manufacturing has been moved away from China.
