Russia and China had the same CO2 output in 1990... China has added more than the rest of the world combined since then (8.48 vs 6.36), while Russia had one of the best reductions in the same period.
And that wonderful, inspiring, sacrosanct Paris Accord allows China to add 30% by 2030... 30% of 10.88 being 3.26... about as much as the entire EU combined...
One night want to take a quick peek at global air quality as well...
Note the number of purple and red figures worldwide... and in China... versus the green figures in the US...
(Now wouldn't a good little Leftist drone WANT goods to be made in the clean US, rather than by the air-dirtying Chinese?)
