How do we Know Human are Causing Climate Change?

[Crick]

Country with the most greenhouse emission by far? CHINA, producing 30% of the total global amount.

Country consuming the most COAL by far, consuming HALF the world supply? CHINA.

And the country producing the most plastic waste?
CHINA.

Closer to triple than double.

With more than 4 times our population.

They also emit DOUBLE our CO2.

BTW what % of CO2 is attributable to mankind?

1.2 billion people and the world's factory to boot. A5 least they're headed the right way. Doing better than we are. I 'd have to look that up and I don't really have the time. The world was able to maintain a near perfect CO2 cycle until mankind started dumping too much CO2 for it to handle. Now it's our of kilter and still getting worse. So collectively the human race is failing at fixing this problem. It affects everyone in the world unfortunately we don't have a world government to address the crisis. Still in the nation state period of our history on this planet.

With more than 4 times our population.

So they are doing better than US.

So, only high per capital America CO2 is warming the planet, right?

ALL civilization adds to the problem. It needs to be addressed as such.

Maybe look at the emissions by country and get back to me.

Actually CO2 was dangerously close to levels which could end all human life during the last few glacial periods. We should be burning more fossil fuel, not less.

China and the US are the biggest. Followed by India and Russia. BUT it's a world problem. Like I said too bad the human race on this planet is still in the primitive nation state period of our history.

How much more is China's emission than the US? What are the trends for each country? The devil is in the details. The US is not the problem. Our emissions could go to zero and the rest of the world would replace them in 5 years.

 

[westwall]

They will utilize the coal as long as it is feasible BUT they know renewables are the future.

The Chinese are opening a coal fired powerplant a week.

When are they going to switch over?

Let me spare you the suspense, we blow ourselves up. Go be happy.

Here are the details for cumulative emissions

These are the emissions for 2023, The US is down to second place.

Not surprised about that either. The US used to be the world's factory ; not as much as China is today , so that's why China is rapidly catching up.

Thanks again , very useful graphs.

Thanks, I was wondering why the US was doing better.

When your grandchildren are killed by CO2, it won't count if it's Chinese CO2.

Only if you consider ever higher emissions "the right way".

On the other hand, if "the right way" is lower emissions, the US wins!!!

It's China killing the world more than the US.

Because of fracking.
