      When the people in China can go outside in public without wearing filtration masks I’ll consider start taking their environmental approaches more seriously.

        What century are you from? The localized pollution problems you’re referring to have been resolved. I know you won’t trust any source anyone here provides, so go ahead and look it up. Just because you got used to your government being useless and slow, doesn’t mean other governments are the same.

        Do you have any real sources, like scientific sources, anything written by someone not intending to get paid massive amounts for their work?

          well hello there, chinese intelligence officer.

          we in the western civilization are usually getting paid for our work and don’t consider that as discreditation of said work. also, the author of the book, is, among others, researcher at Harvard, so he is the literal scientist.

          Michael Pillsbury is the director of the Center on Chinese Strategy at the Hudson Institute and has served in presidential administrations from Richard Nixon to Barack Obama. Educated at Stanford and Columbia Universities, he is a former analyst at the RAND Corporation and research fellow at Harvard and has served in senior positions in the Defense Department and on the staff of four U.S. Senate committees. He is a member of the Council on Foreign Relations and the International Institute for Strategic Studies. He lives in Washington, D.C.

              How is it appropriate to make comparisons between nations without normalizing for the population?

              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.

              but my point here was you carefully selected one graph and presented it without context to support incorrect conclusion. but you know that, right?

              Frankly, accusing me of manipulation makes me no longer care what you have to say. You can fuck off.

              so you have no rebuttal to graphs i showed you, so you are suddenly not talking to me. that’s understandable, whatever exit strategy works for you, clown…
