China already has far lower emissions per capita than most western countries, especially so compared to US.
But the Chinese people have no right to live as Americans. Obama said so.
Yes, def (tho recent beef & pork ghg emissions have actually closed the gap considerably). Murikan boomers lived reckless lives on account of (global) future generations in so many ways.
I was merely pointing out the scales, how giant absolute numbers both in actual emissions & actual growth we are talking about.
I mean, it's basically just saying that more people live in China at the end of the day. Not exactly news.
