OK, now do per capita

All climate policies are designed to exert further control upon the population and don’t have anything to do with the enviroment or the scarcity of resources. I thought it was common knowledge by now

Being better is better. Not trying to be better is worse.
Also, name a country building more nuclear and green electricity generation than China.
Ah the great old story of if someone else isn’t doing it why should we…

It’s all fear driven & about controlling our energy resources. It all necessitate mass mining mainly through slave labour & is actually environmentally destructive that you destroy the developing world which people on the left supposedly want to protect. There’s a magic machine that sucks carbon out of the air, costs very little & builds itself. It’s called a tree

Our government tells us it’s a good thing that we have the most expensive energy prices in the universe…
TBF the majority of global manufacturing and export is happening from China. A lot of that should be allocated to export destination.

Damn, that’s crazy the country with 1.4 billion people pollutes more than the country with 66 million people. Nobody could have guessed that. Now do per capita CO2 emissions.

I just want to know if I’m allowed three or four **mega mansions**, and if there is a limit on the number of **giga yachts** and **private planes** I can own and use, before I run afoul with the carbon police?

I always giggle at this stuff. I operate a large Jet. If ATC or the pilots mess up even one approach, we may burn an additional 10,000 lbs of fuel or 1500 gallons. Thats over 5 years of driving my car in terms of carbon emissions. Im not gonna feel bad for using a gas stove or even buying a pickup truck while these corporations and government interests are burning many many more times that in an instant.
I get this is a bit of a “if everyone does it” sort of issue, but we’re talking about some crazy numbers

Well you gotta factor in that china makes most of our electronics…
It’s the world’s electronics factory…

I think the real conspiracy here is that banning combustion engines makes cars less accessible for a lot of people. How are you gonna buy a cheap first car when petrol/diesel has been banned? You’ll be forced to either buy an old EV which is probably far less reliable than an old diesel would be, or to pay a shitload of money for a brand new electric car that you can’t even afford if you’re young.
And combustion engines (mostly older ones) are taxed like mad too, at least in Denmark. Sure, you can find something like a 1996 Honda Accord for around $1250/£940 (which isn’t even that cheap for a 30-year old car with 300k km). Thing is it’ll cost $470/£350 every 6 months in ‘green tax’, meaning that within a year and a half, you would’ve spent more money just owning the car than you spent on buying it. Incredible waste of money.

tends to happen when all manufacturing is offset to developing&emerging nations lol

OP wants to compare the **total** CO2 output between a country of ~1.4 billion people (and which makes loads of stuff) —> to a country of ~70 million people (and which makes not-a-lot).
A more reasonable comparison would be the per capita values, once again keeping in mind that China makes loads of the world’s stuff, whilst UK makes not-a-lot.
2024 data – China (8.66) and UK (4.53) tons per person. Compare this to, say, Australia (14.48), USA (14.2), Canada (13.42). So, whilst CO2 per capita is certainly higher in China than UK, the figure is quite reasonable considering its manufacturing output, and considering that it is way lower than other modern, developed nations. Also, it has achieved its modernisation (and industrialisation) at a much lower historical rate compared to other nations
Conclusion – perhaps OP should focus their conspiracy suspicions on why UK seems to act like a lap-dog to USA and Israel, following their every command and trend, deliberately making enemies out of far away countries on the whim of USA & Israel

The thing is that the west mostly outsourced production to China, hence the massive growth in CO2 emissions.

The full ban on new car sales with gasoline and diesel cars will happen in 2035
Comparing UK and China 2025 data:
> China’s GDP $19.399 trillion (nominal; 2025) $41.016 trillion (PPP; 2025)
> UK GDP GDP $3.959 trillion (nominal; 2025) $4.455 trillion (PPP; 2025)

what is the conspiracy?
Dosent this show UK emissions going down ???
That’s good right ???
