China Burns Over Half Of The World’s Coal And Will Account For 50% Of Global CO2 Emissions By 2030

And Will Account For 50% Of Global CO2 Emissions By 2030

Today, 30% of the globe’s CO2 emissions come from China. In 10 years, China’s emissions alone will match the rest of world’s emissions combined. China continues to build hundreds of coal plants today. So why are the rest of us spending $600 billion every year on CO2 emissions mitigation?

China overtook the United States as the world’s largest CO2 emitter in 2008 (Liu et al., 2019).

It only took 7 years for China’s emissions percentage to double that of the USA’s. As of 2015, China accounted for 30% of global emissions (Shan et al., 2018) compared to the USA’s 15%.

Much of the reason for China’s emissions domination is because its citizens consume more than 50% of the world’s coal.

China is in the process of building 100s of new coal plants, with plans to add a new coal plant every 2 weeks for the next 12 years.

According to the People’s Daily, China, the country’s longest coal transporting railway, carrying 200 million tonnes of coal from north to east China every year, is now (October, 2019) in operation.

Gaia worshipers demanding that the USA cut back on carbon emissions to make up for China in 3...2...1

Thread hijack.

90% of China's groundwater is contaminated.
