China is willing to do business while giving zero fucks about the environment they are destroying and the global warming they are causing. It really blows my mind people support the china thing so much around here.

China is deploying more renewables than most of the world, in some calculations outspending the rest of the world.

Chinese per-capita emissions have peaked at lower level than US and are already falling.

Per capita is not a useful metric in this measurement. Why is that such a theme?

Bruh, When there's no data, you ask, "According to whom?" When you have data, you ask, "Why is that such a theme?"

...why wouldn't it be? Who cares if e.g. Greenland has near-zero total emissions if nearly nobody lives there? Emissions are a cost of human existence, of course absolute emissions should scale with population.

Do you think that OpenAI or Google gives any fucks?
