Instead of agreeing to nebulous things like “limit to 2 degrees”. International politics should have focused on specifics like “hey, at least don’t make any new coal plants”.
Whataboutism, the west contributes significantly more per capita than China. Yes they should be doing more but it's better focused elsewhere
How is this whataboutism? Who said anything about the West or East vs West?
If anything this comment is about how China continues to increase their carbon emissions per capita year over year while the west is doing the opposite.
Edit: In fact the EU produces less then China per capita...
Crazy thing about it, in the end, it doesn't even fucking matter where the emissions come from, just that there are the emissions to begin with.
I didn't get the sense that they're saying China's the sole reason for pollution - we all understand that it's an issue globally - that article is just showing an example of how, instead of fixing the problem, the powerhouse countries of the world are doubling down on pollution.
It's better to focus everywhere. Not gonna solve this by shifting blame. That goes for EU/US shifting blame to China as well.
