You don't even understand what an obligation is?
No, that is you. China is not under an obligations to increase pollution until 2030. It is allowed to increase pollution until 2030.
your nonsense was already debunked above.
You have debunked nothing. You merely misrepresent and argue against straw men no one is claiming.
Compare and contrast with the US US Government policy already pulled out and abandoned the Paris agreement.
A misrepresentation on your part, suggesting that without Paris the US will increase emission. The truth is we left Paris before and continued to reduce emissions. We don't reduce emissions because of Paris, we do it because we want to, because we believe it is the right things to do.
china chose renewables. That's why they are rising faster than coal.
China chooses both renewables and coal. Renewables supplement coal, they do not displace it. Other cleaner burning fossil fuels are displaced. The controversy is the use of coal rather than cleaner fossil fuels like natural gas.
US Government policy already pulled out and abandoned the Paris agreement.
Because it is a fraud, for example allowing China to increase pollution until 2030.
Regardless of Paris, the US reduced its emissions.
So China declines and it's not a trend. But America rises and that's also not a trend.
No, a decline in the rate of approval of new coal plants is not a decline. It is a slower increase. Note it was temporary as well. Ending in 2021.
Frothing eco-marxist is angry.
As you suspect, I would in fact prefer to literally pave the roads with the bodies of the children I am going to kill with my CO2 emissions. Ideally, they're not quite dead yet so their chorus of little screams will cheer me along during my commute. Can we throw in some endangered animals as well?
"Our estimates imply that U.S. innovative firms operate in too few markets relative to the social optimum."
I'm curious what the 'social optimum' is, and who defined it according to what standard.
Small businesses that get a lot of these calls will revolt quickly. Google can try to force them to feed the machine but its not going to work well.
It's just automating telemarketing in its various forms, it's not really anything new. Its not like these calls were welcomed when they were human based.
The people don't decide how their electricity is made
P.S. You are correct that in an authoritarian state this is true. Still, per capita emissions are still lower than some places. Ideally, they won't rise and others will fall to match, then an overall reduction world-wide through cleaner technology but still high standard of living.
Perc apita usage, household, accounts for less than 2%. Usage is overwhelmingly industrial. Hence GDP being the better metric. Per capital speaks to less than 2%.
Household use of electricity only accounts for 17% of total.
Industry doesn't produce stuff if people don't want it. I am not sure why that's such a complex thing to understand.
The people want electricity, they want goods and services. However they do not get to choose how the demand for energy is met. Government and industry decide that, more so government in China. With respect to fossil fuels, China choose coal for lower cost, the US avoids coal due to it pollution. The US has not built a coal plant since 2013. China leads the world in new coal plants, even today. That decision is made by the CCP, not by the average citizens.
The US pulled out of the Paris agreement and decreased pollution.
It pulled out in 2025. It is still 2025. Coal use has increased. Your statement is unlikely to be true.
The US pulled out in Trump's first term. The US rejoined during Biden's term. There was a covid related outlier, so there was technically a one year increase the year after covid, However that year after covid was lower than the year before covid. The overall downward trend continued through 2024 despite the 2020 covid outlier
What obligations? China is allowed to continue to increase pollution until 2030.
Yes, that obligation.
LOL. An obligation to increase pollution?
That's not an obligation. That a gift from Paris, falsely recognizing China as a developing nation.
And now it is warning it may continued to increase pollution beyond 2030.
And I hope it doesn't. Even Xi has to politic a bit, though.
It's not just politics, it's not just words. China is still building new coal plants, the world leader in this regrettable technology.
LITTLETON, Colorado, July 1 (Reuters) - U.S. power sector emissions are already at their highest levels in three years, but will likely climb further during the peak summer months as greater use of air conditioning systems drives higher generation from coal and natural gas plants.
Over the first five months of 2025, U.S. power sector emissions from the burning of fossil fuels were up 5% to around 640 million metric tons, according to data from Ember.
That's incomplete data. The most recent full year, 2024, shows yet another decline. We'll won't see what is really happening until the end of 2025.
The US has not built a coal plant since 2013, and has no plans to build one. Unlike China which leads the world in new coal plants and is still aggressively building them. The issue is not about the increased demand for electricity. Increased demand should be expected as we further electrify. Its how we meet that demand. China prefers coal for low cost, the west prefers other fossil fuels for less pollution.
The moon is a planet just like the Earth, only it is even deader.
