A coal-fired power plant in China's Sichuan province. China now emits more CO2 than the USA, Europe, Canada, Japan and South Korea combined. Meanwhile, Europe is regulating their manufacturing out of business to "save the planet". It is all ridiculous. They close their factories in Europe, move to China, then pay for the ocean shipping to transport the finished products to Europe ... that is their solution? How does that make any sense? All they are doing is transferring their wealth to China and making everyone in Europe and the USA poor. Bring back manufacturing to Europe and the USA. Stop this insanity.
don’t account for energy use and carbon emissions that have been not eliminated but merely exported out of the region under study—say, from California to a factory in China.
