China emitted more greenhouse gasses than US, developed world combined in 2019

Quick, take my money to save the globe!
China’s 2019 greenhouse gas emissions exceeded those of the U.S. and other major developed nations combined, according to a report by research firm The Rhodium Group released Thursday.
The report put China’s proportion of worldwide emissions at 27 percent in 2019, followed by the U.S. with 11 percent, India with 6.6 percent and the European Union with 6.4 percent.
While China’s emissions must be viewed in the context of its population, per capita emissions have also nearly tripled over the past two decades to 10.1 tons, according to the report. Despite the increase, Chinese per capita emissions remain well below that of the U.S., which has the world’s highest per capita level with 17.6 tons/capita.

“While final global data for 2020 is not yet available, we expect China’s per capita emissions exceeded the [Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development] average in 2020, as China’s net [greenhouse gas] emissions grew around 1.7% while emissions from almost all other nations declined sharply in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic,” the report states.

But remember... they are a “developing” nation and therefore can be exempt for a while.

Sounds like China needs to be the one forking over all the money.

China DGAF about no gasses. Gotta keep them sweatshops open for LeBron and Nike.

I like this subtle jab. Their saying, "China is bad, but Ho Li Fuk is the USA worse."
It's ridiculous.

US is almost double Chinas greenhouse gases per capita though

Not captured in this data. China is spending 100s of billions of dollars on the belt and road initiative. The number one item of spending, power plants, fueled by coal. So not only are they the worst polluters, they are spreading it across the world in a very timely fashion.

The US has a $21.4 trillion gdp with 330 million. China is 1.4 billion people with $14.3 trillion gdp. Big difference.

It's a subtle way of saying that while China is a huge polluter, however, we shouldn't worry about them because look at the US per capita rates. Meanwhile, they allow China to continue to not worry about curbing their pollution while pushing the New Green Deal bullshite down our throats.

This report must hate Asians?...

The Chinese propaganda machine did an awesome job programming progressives. Word for word, y'all say the exact same thing just to excuse China.
In doing so, you omit the most important aspect of the conversation, probably because it hasn't been programmed into you yet.

Why would per capita emissions even be relevant?

More people use more energy.
