    nuanced and realistic is when you hold other gvmts to higher standards than your own. Got it.

    While I agree with the amount of CO2 being the meaningful statistic, I see China doing a lot more in that regard than the US.

    • Per Capita CO2: China is way lower
    • Produces and deploys renewables on an unprecedented scale
    • Public transport is taken serious

    When the US/West exported it’s treat production to China pointing the finger to the total CO2 output is just chauvinist

        yeah you do, you dismiss the US/Biden increase in oil production as a necessary short-term evil, but dont do so for China. ie you hold other goverments to higher standards than your own
