  • I live in a small European nation with ~11m inhabitants. We are phasing out nuclear energy and opening… Natural gas power plants. Our emissions will go higher because of that. At the same time, China is lowering its emissions of GHG. Yes, we will still produce less pollution than a country with literally more than 100x people living in it, but individually, we will produce more than the average Chinese citizen. Should countries produce the same amount of GHG regardless of size? Do we expect Germany to be on the same level as Luxembourg? China is a semi dictatorship that’s committing Genocide and produces a lot of pollution but we can’t ignore that its size plays a role in that.
