A bigger country has more industry. Spain is bigger, has more industry and pollutes more than Portugal for example and it’s “normal” (as normal as destroying the environment is). And pretending the end consumer doesn’t bare any responsibility is dishonest. I’d also add that most manufacturing done in China is not for Chinese citizens but us, Europeans and Americans.
I live in a small European nation with ~11m inhabitants. We are phasing out nuclear energy and opening… Natural gas power plants. Our emissions will go higher because of that. At the same time, China is lowering its emissions of GHG. Yes, we will still produce less pollution than a country with literally more than 100x people living in it, but individually, we will produce more than the average Chinese citizen. Should countries produce the same amount of GHG regardless of size? Do we expect Germany to be on the same level as Luxembourg? China is a semi dictatorship that’s committing Genocide and produces a lot of pollution but we can’t ignore that its size plays a role in that.
I disagree. Of course more people will pollute more, it’s basic math so if a country with 10 millions inhabitants produces 5 times as much greenhouse gases as a country with 1 million inhabitants, the smaller country is the one which should do more. Global warming (and pollution in general) is a global issue, we can’t ask people to produce less because they happen to live in a bigger country. The fact that the EU or the US produce more than half the amount of GHG than India or China with not even half their population is insane.
I am not saying China is doing enough, simply that we can’t point our finger at them when we all pollute more.
I’m neither a child nor defending tiktok but it doesn’t mater who manipulates it. No country," allied" or otherwise, should interfere in the democratic process of another country.
There are something like 1.2 billion people living in China and the rest of the world has moved a ton of manufacturing there, of course the country produce more pollution than any another. But per capita, they are not number one. Here’s the carbon dioxide production per capita for the entire world. Other type of pollution will obviously by different but I’m not sure they are first per capita in any category.
And forgot the Moon hologram didn’t really affect the tides.

According to the complaint, he did.
There are “simplified” books for learners already.
I can feel my arteries clogging just by reading the name.
Fried butter? (The fact that this is a real thing is worrisome)
How many diet Coke and Big Mac is that?
I started using Linux when I was in high school. LFS has been my end goal, my Linux graal ever since. It’s only been 23 years, I’ll take care of it someday soon©.
I member the good old days when we were buying our blank CD/DVD in Germany to avoid paying those taxes.
Realistically, I would grieve the loss of my children, who would never be born if I didn’t line things up just right to cause them to happen again
This right there is the one reason I wouldn’t go back in time if given the chance.
They can’t, they have to watch a video tutorial on how to make a software before.
As long as it’s a different straw for every one.
We do need an adjective for the EU. Unionist? I feel like it might be taken already…
There’s no “best”, just the ones you like more.
If you’re looking for stuff to watch, you can’t go wrong with Dragon Balls or Saint Seiya. Or Ranma ½.
If I were part of CS management, I’d look into recently fired personnel.
