    I’m pretty sure China’s CO2 emissions are dropping at such a rate they’ll drop below the US’s within 10 years.

    They do not need to be stopped.

      That would be great, but I doubt that. If US emissions stay stable that would be a 6.6% annual drop over a decade. If Carbonbriefs anslysis of Bidens climate policy is correct and US polizicans do not touch that at all, we are talking 10% annual drops. So far Chinas emissions have been growing most years. They might have peaked right now, but I foubt, they drop this quickly.
