    Just like how in climate change is that we use plastic straws, don't look at how 80% of the pollution is industrial and/or Chinese in origin.

    Or in Canada where rents are so high in Vancouver and Toronto that they're redefining budgeting for renters, from 1/3 to half and even 2/3rds instead of dealing with real estate speculation.

        Badly written. 80% are industrial. They are, based on their public numbers, responsible for a third of the world's CO2 though.

        Their official numbers put them at number 1 CO2 emitter, and pollute more then next 5.

          Yes although I think China is a wealthy and capable enough country at this point that we can expect them to start reducing emissions like most other countries. But they aren’t really attempting to do this, and deserve criticism for that. As do Westerners who uncritically buy products from them despite their deeply problematic production model.
