> China [...] world's fastest growing CO2 emitter

This is not true. From 2001 to 2011 China almost tripled their emissions, but after 2011 they haven't grown almost at all. It's stable. Maybe you haven't looked at the data in the past 10 years?

Plus, to be fair, they make all our stuff. Or at least a lot of it. So a big part of their CO2 is YOUR stuff being made.

I dont know if it is funny or sad to see that whenever the US passes an environmental or labor regulation there is no net reduction in bad behavior, the bad behavior just gets moved to a different country and we burn a little more oil to move it there
