        Ok I’ve had fun so I guess I’ll try to educate you.

        You’ve fallen for right wing talking points blaming China for climate change. Notice how they hone in a singular talking point while ignoring everything else? They don’t talk about carbon, they try to take a singular point coal.

        Here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_carbon_dioxide_emissions_per_capita

        Sort by emissions per capita and see where countries line up. US #16, China #25. India #125.

        That’s not to say that coal is fine. But when you hone in on that singular talking point and blame CHINA and oh yeah INDIA bad countries why are they so bad bad bad, then you’ve fallen for right wing Fox news screaming “CHINA’S COALL!”

        PS watch for them blaming cement use too, which of course developing countries will use more of.

            Good thing you can ignore everything else polluting the Earth. JFC. And just coincidentally spout Fox’s line. JFC. And ignore the actual problem of fucking CARBON. JFC. “Teehee the US just has too many electrical luxuries teehee, I’ll just ignore the HIGHER CARBON teehee.” JFC.

            I don’t believe you for a second. Any rational person would look at the actual issue of carbon.

                China is number one carbon emissions and coal powers 60% of their grid. This is my career.

                Just keep on those Fox points there. Now you’re ignoring mfing population. I worked it out, China has 4.08x the population. Over 4 times the population and you want to ignore that, teehee of course. And right back to coal only, ignoring the actual thing that matters: carbon. You’re really just proving my point that you’re regurgitating Fox points.

                    This is the thing with right wing talking points, they draw a connection between the main issue and one singular point that contributes to it. Then they talk incessantly about that one point while ignoring everything else that causes it  Oh btw, the one point just happens to allow them to scapegoat "the other"TM for the whole issue.

                    This is exactly what you’re doing. Down to a tee.

                    You draw a connection between coal (“majority source”) and carbon. Then you talk incessantly about coal as if that’s the only cause. You give a cursory head nod to oil, and then right back to coal (the one singular point). Right back to ignoring CARBON (the actual issue). All so that you can scapegoat China (the other).

                    You forgot India this time, because when you see it’s #125 on the list it’s ridiculous to blame them. What else, you continue to ignore per capita CARBON, see previous link.

                    You’ve proven you’re just regurgitating Fox points. Ciao.
