If by "we" you mean mostly China, then yes.

@hosnimubarak8869 Please explain how a carbon tax in Canada will get China to reduce its massive, world-leading amount of greenhouse gas emissions.

Climate change, eh? Well, when can I expect the UN and Global "News" to start screaming at China, the world's #1 emitter of greenhouse gases for 19 years in a row? China, the country which has emitted 1.5 times more total greenhouse gases since 1990 than any other country in the world.

@ting280 What "we"? CHINA is by far the biggest contributor to climate change in the world, and has been for 19 years in a row. But those who claim to be so concerned about climate change never point a finger at China, and instead pretend Western countries are the ones solely responsible.

The problem is desalination is an energy intensive process. So you're going to need a lot of additional electricity generation to do it.

@papi-sauce There aren't a lot of good locations left for hydro. Solar does not provide a consistent, stable baseline of power. For some reason you ignored nuclear, a power source that France has demonstrated can be used safely and effectively.

"We"? What "we"? CHINA is the #1 emitter of greenhouse gases in the world, and has been the #1 emitter in the world for 19 years in a row. China emitted more total GHG over those 19 years than did the U.S. over the last 36 years. Some countries are much more responsible for the problem than others. But let's pretend the blame is equal.

@ImproveYourMagic Per capita amounts don't fill up the atmosphere, raw totals do. China wins on the raw total amount. The top ten nations in greenhouse gas emissions in 2022 according to the EU's EDGAR database. 1 = China -- 15,684.63 Mtons (29.2% of global total) -- per capita, 10.95 2 = United States -- 6,017.44 Mtons (11.2%) -- per capita, 17.90 3 = India -- 3,943.26 Mtons (7.3%) -- per capita, 2.79 4 = Russia -- 2,579.80 Mtons (4.8%) -- per capita, 17.99 5 = Brazil -- 1,310.50 Mtons (2.4%) -- per capita, 6.05 6 = Indonesia -- 1,240.83 Mtons (2.3%) -- per capita, 4.47 7 = Japan -- 1,182.77 Mtons (2.2%) -- per capita, 9.41 8 = Iran -- 951.98 Mtons (1.8%) -- per capita, 11.20 9 = Mexico -- 819.87 Mtons (1.5%) -- per capita, 5.99 10 = Saudi Arabia -- 810.51 Mtons (1.5%) -- per capita, 22.64 China emitted more greenhouse gases (GHG) by itself (15,684.63) than did the next FIVE NATIONS COMBINED (15,091.84). China's per capita rate of GHG emissions (10.95) was already greater than that of the UK (6.27), France (6.50), the EU27 (8.09), Japan (9.41), and Germany (9.49). Total GHG emissions over the last 32 years (1991-2022): China = 303,104.61 Mtons (21.9% of the global total) U.S.A. = 209,978.84 Mtons (15.2% of the global total) EU27 = 137,310.07 Mtons (9.9% of the global total) In 2020, China's GHG emissions were 14,879.56 Mtons; in 2022, its emissions were 15,684.63 Mtons. That's an increase of 805.07 Mtons. Canada's GHG emissions in 2022 were 756.81 Mtons. That means China's INCREASE in GHG emissions over those two years was 6.4% larger than Canada's total emissions in 2022. Canada could reduce its GHG emissions to zero tomorrow and China would wipe out that reduction in just two years. But, yes, keep excusing China's massive role in climate change.

@ImproveYourMagic It's simple. China is, by far, the biggest contributor to GHG emissions in the world. If you actually care about climate change, then you should be screaming at China most of all. But you're not. Per capita amounts do not fill up the atmosphere with GHG. Raw totals do. China pumps out in one day as much GHG as Canada emits in three weeks.

@glennhankins6927 India is not there yet. China, however, is definitely the world leader.

@hosnimubarak8869 Yes, please stop denying that China is by far the biggest contributor to climate change in the world, and begin demanding harsh sanctions be slapped on the country until its starts reducing its massive, world-leading amount of emissions.

@hosnimubarak8869 The fact that these experts are not screaming at China, the world's #1 emitter of greenhouse gases in the world for 19 years in a row, makes me question their honesty.

@ImproveYourMagic Once again per capita amounts do NOT fill up the atmosphere, raw totals do. The top ten nations in greenhouse gas emissions in 2022 according to the EU's EDGAR database. 1 = China -- 15,684.63 Mtons (29.2% of global total) -- per capita, 10.95 2 = United States -- 6,017.44 Mtons (11.2%) -- per capita, 17.90 3 = India -- 3,943.26 Mtons (7.3%) -- per capita, 2.79 4 = Russia -- 2,579.80 Mtons (4.8%) -- per capita, 17.99 5 = Brazil -- 1,310.50 Mtons (2.4%) -- per capita, 6.05 6 = Indonesia -- 1,240.83 Mtons (2.3%) -- per capita, 4.47 7 = Japan -- 1,182.77 Mtons (2.2%) -- per capita, 9.41 8 = Iran -- 951.98 Mtons (1.8%) -- per capita, 11.20 9 = Mexico -- 819.87 Mtons (1.5%) -- per capita, 5.99 10 = Saudi Arabia -- 810.51 Mtons (1.5%) -- per capita, 22.64 China emitted more greenhouse gases (GHG) by itself (15,684.63) than did the next FIVE NATIONS COMBINED (15,091.84).

Canada could reduce its GHG emissions to zero tomorrow and China would wipe out that reduction in just two years. But, yes, keep excusing China's massive role in climate change. Keep ignoring the biggest contributor to the problem, the country whose increases in GHG emissions will easily wipe out the reductions other nations achieve.

@hosnimubarak8869 So the carbon tax here is pointless. Thanks for verifying that. China's INCREASE in greenhouse gas emissions since 2020 is GREATER than the amount of greenhouse gases emitted by Canada in 2022.

@hosnimubarak8869 You keep using that term. I do not think it means what you think it means.

@hosnimubarak8869 Fact: China is the single largest emitter of greenhouse gases in the world. Fact: China has been the #1 emitter of GHG in the world for 19 years in a row. Fact: China emitted more GHG over those 19 years than did the U.S. over the last 36 years. Fact: China emitted more GHG in 2022 than did the next FIVE NATIONS COMBINED Fact: China's per capita rate emissions is already greater than that of the U.K., France, EU27, Japan, and Germany. Fact: China has emitted more total GHG since 1990 than any other nation in the world. If you actually care about climate change, then you should be demanding sanctions be placed on China in order to pressure it to do something about its massive, world-leading GHG emissions.
