#2 In other words, Chinese industrial production exceeds those of the US and EU combined.

#3 Has science (if anyone cares anymore) shown that greenhouse gases (CO2) present the danger they have been made out to be? Or is this more "The Sky is Falling" rhetoric?

Where we live, "urban creep" has taken many of the surrounding wooded areas in the name of "development." Wooded areas soak up a lot of CO2. How about planting more trees?

#4 In other words, Chinese industrial production exceeds those of the US and EU combined.

They are certainly headed in that direction. But it also means the Chinese are more concerned about the power to be gained from industrialization than they are about the environment or so-called global warming. They could no doubt spend some of their profits on clean burning power plants but they'd rather use dirty old technology and spend the profits on their military.

You'd think all these woke environmentalists in the US and the EU, if they were really serious, would boycott China.

#5 Not sure who this Rhodium Group is, but the article is emissions in general - planes, trains, automobiles, scooters, ships, refuse burning, whatever.

Another way to look at it...
We are slowly choking China to death by producing all of our consumables there, instead of here.
