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

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.

Thanks for supporting your comments with sources.

producing most of the world’s goods

China makes the most goods, but most goods are not made by China. They are the top producer, but produce less than 50% of all goods.
