    I’m not sure it’s a very effective argument, since China has not actually reduced its emissions yet and emits as much per capita (consumption based) as most European countries. There’s progress being made but we are a long, long fucking way from having fixed the problem, and that applies to China too

      You didn’t get the point, the day China decides to do it they’ll catch up and be ahead of European and North American countries in a couple of years, they’ll do in two years what will require them a decade or more.

        No, I got the point, I’m just saying you won’t convince anyone with it until China has actually done something. And it is important that we convince people before that, because that’s precious time lost
