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 you take into account our fossil fuel exports, and that we still cut down more trees than what we plant were a big contributor to global carbon emissions.

That’s what I thought but in 2019 Australia had 380 Mt of carbon emissions in total (not per capita).
China had just under 10 000 Mt and are on the way up because they’re industrialising.

I won’t just paste a heap of my own confirmation bias here lol but it’s just another frustrating detail about how our planet is getting the shit kicked out of it 😖

We definitely should’ve gone for the extended warranty back at the start
