  1.  @mcjesus5603  If you take climate change seriously, then the nation you should be looking at most to reduce CO2 emissions is China. China: 30.34% of the world's CO2 emissions in 2019 Canada: 1.54% of the world's CO2 emissions in 2019 Canada could stop all of its CO2 emissions tomorrow and it would have a negligible impact on the world's situation. China emitted as much CO2 by itself in 2019 as did the next five nations combined. China has been #1 in the world for annual CO2 emissions for every year since 2005. Many like to pick on the United States, but China pumped out more total tons of CO2 over the last 15 years than did the U.S. over the last 25. All figures are according to the European Union's EDGAR database.

  2.  @FJTx100  Except of course China will be exempt from any such measures.

  3.  @Æley-Cat  All figures according to the European Union's EDGAR database. -- China accounted for 30.34% of the world's total CO2 emissions in 2019 -- China emitted as much CO2 in 2019 by itself as did the next five nations combined -- China has been #1 in the world for annual CO2 emissions for every year since 2005 -- China emitted more total tons of CO2 over the last 15 years than did the United States over the last 25 I suspect all these climate change plans are nothing more than getting the rest of the world, and particularly Western nations, to slash their CO2 emissions so that China can increase theirs.

  4. Renewable energy cannot provide the stable baseline of power needed in a modern society -- neither wind nor solar is consistent. Hydroelectric could, but most of the good places for that are already being used. That leaves nuclear. Unless one foresees room temperature superconductors which would allow long-distance energy transmission with little to no loss, or we go all-in on space-based solar power.

  5. Now let's compare it to China's emissions.

  7.  @robdavidson2569  Something better? It's called nuclear power. Fusion is probably a pipe dream, but fission is entirely doable and has been done. It is not quite the imminent-death machine its opponents make it out to be.
