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.



According to whom?


https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/co-emissions-per-capita

USA 14.2

Canada 13.42

China 8.66


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.
