    You’re here being an asshole with a chip on your shoulder so I’m giving you the same energy. Comparing the total output of a 2 billion pop nation with a nation 20% of that size is a pretty dumb way to compare statistics and the progress of a country’s green transition.

    I can’t give you a stats curriculum on lemmy when you are also being a huge dick.

            dude you’re such a huge asshole. USA! USA! USA! keep building multi-decade lifespan LNG shipping infrastructure for your “bridge fuel” and suppressing cheap green energy.

            Keep electing leaders paid for by fossil fuel companies

            USA! USA! #1

                True I should thank you for teaching me that per capita statistics are useless for comparing nations.

                You should go public with this information

                  True I should thank you for teaching me that per capita statistics are useless for comparing nations.

                  any single piece of statistic presented without context can be used to manipulate, as you did in this case, knowingly or not.

                  when you have big part of country that is rural and don’t participate in generating the emissions and profiting from them, then including them in the total count to artificially decrease final per capita number is just manipulation.

                  these people living in rural areas will ultimately also want to participate in the booming economy, it is just a matter of time. so it is better to look at trends rather than some number fixed in time. and how does the trend look like?

                  You should go public with this information

                  oh don’t worry, it is public information, they teach it in schools.

                    A big portion of every country is rural, you’re not making the case you think you’re making.

                    Let’s look at other differences: China is still largely a manufacturing economy whereas the United States is a service economy.

                    They’ve built more rail transit in recent years than the United States has even attempted.

                    Their EV market share is significantly higher.

                    Seems the only thing you learned in school is blind nationalism
