Did you know it would take 17,800 Mark Zuckerberg’s emitting this much carbon 24 hours a day, all year long, for the US carbon footprint to be equal to China’s?

Did you know that the US's carbon footprint since industrialization is twice as much as that of China, the most populous country in human history until very recently?

Genuine question- why is it such a challenge for folks like you to care about issues in a serious manner instead of in a geopolitical dick measuring contest?

So you’re saying China surpassed the US in emissions at a record pace, great point.

The entire world shares the carbon. China emits 1/3 of the carbon. It’s just reality. I don’t even expect them to stop or care if they do, because they won’t. Neither will developing countries who need power.

Yet we all spend time talking about billionaire’s jet rides. Who is caring about this in a serious manner? Just the amount of extra carbon India increases their emissions per year is 146,000x Mark Zuckerberg’s vacation. Ya the Zuck is a lizard douche, great. Doesn’t even remotely affect the problem in the slightest to get mad at Zuck boi.

Under your logic, you’re basically saying that china should never have passed china in annual emissions somehow despite having nearly twice or thrice as much as population?

What an objectively stupid take.

the entire world shares the carbon

Yeah and that includes time, dumbass. China emits third of the carbon annually, but overall, the US has produced twice as much emissions as china. But somehow to you, only countries like china and India deserve to have a reputation of trashing the planet when the US has produced the most emissions in the world by far, not even close.

Not to mention, the US has way higher emissions per capita than china, so china has never overtaken the US in that regard.

And in addition to that, while china produces the most emissions annually, they also produce the most amount of clean energy by a very large margin as well.

But of course, folks like you try to ignore stats like those as if your lives depended on your egos.

Damn for someone who very rudely accuses people of engaging in geopolitical dickriding contests, you sure like to engage in geopolitical dickriding contests.

And you have no argument.

I literally comment that China does indeed produce the most emissions annually over and over, yet you can't resist making the braindead accusation of me being hypocritical somehow lol
