Reply to comment by [deleted] in Public opinion on climate change in China from two national surveys: findings suggest that Chinese people have a fairly high awareness of the existence and anthropogenic causes of climate change by Biosphere_Collapse

Even if you’re conspiracy minded, China leads the world in EVs and renewable energy. If nothing else, that’ll make the more pro-believing in climate change to further push their leads in those industries.

China leads the world in fossil fuel consumption. Including being the top producer and consumer of lignite, the dirtiest type of coal, and they are building new coal plants every year. China was the biggest emitter of carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions in 2021, accounting for nearly 31 percent of the global emissions. Don't fall for their greenwashig.

So? They also lead in new coal powerplants.

They're a billion and a half people, they lead in many things, doesn't mean anything.
