Reply to comment by Y34rZer0 in Australia’s big polluters must cut emissions by nearly 5% a year, but can use offsets to get there | Greenhouse gas emissions by LachyWantsBrownies

If China stop producing your crap and your country has to make them yourself, yours will be up there with the rest of the manufacturing world.

China literally produces stuff for entire world to use and their emission per capita doesn't even get into top 40. Something to think about.

Because they have more people? Half of Chinese population doesn't even own a gasoline vehicle or AC and their diet is 60% vegetable.

Why faith? 🤷‍♂️

If you're buying plastic bags, they will make plastic bags. If you buy paper bags, they will make paper bags. They literally onlu make what you want to buy. It's not like they produce stuff and shove it into a blackhole.

Faith in what they say being true.

I don’t mean to get into the morals of it completely, I just meant to say that when I saw our greenhouse emissions were Drop in the ocean compared to what they put out it was disheartening. I’m sad for the planet I guess..
