Perhaps we should be taking a stand and boycotting goods from China?

According to this source, China has double the emissions of USA:

If looked at on a per capita basis, Australia and quite a few other countries are worse than USA.




> China has double the emissions of USA:

No idea why my sibling commenter deanCommie was killed, but his point seems good to me: according to your own source USA's per capita emissions are more than twice as high as China's.


China is cutting out coal even turning back ships from North Korea mid shipment.

And China is said to be spending $360 billion over the next three years implementing more green power sources. But has already installed a lot of solar and wind. In fact "one new wind turbine per hour in 2015" according to Greenpeace.


That would be interesting indeed. Isn't a large part of the emissions generated by China the result of producing stuff ordered/purchased by the USA?
