All of the greenies in the USA are yammering about HOW WE MUST DO SOMETHING
Meanwhile, in the real world... From the London Daily Mail:
Just 25 'mega-cities' produce 52 per cent of the world's urban greenhouse gas emissions — and 23 of them are in China
-
- Researchers from Sun Yat-sen University recorded the emissions of 167 cities
- The largest carbon emitters were found to be Asian megacities like Shanghai
- Cities in Europe and the US emit more than those in most developing countries
- Of 42 cities with data spanning 2012–2016, 30 showed emissions reductions
- Yet the team warned we are not on track to meet global climate change targets
Just over half of the world's urban greenhouse gas emissions come from just 25 mega-cities — 23 of which are located in China — a study has reported.
The cities that emit the most greenhouse gases included Handan, Suzhou, Dalian, Beijing and Tianjin in China — but also Tokyo, Japan, and Moscow, Russia.
China's President Xi Jinping has pledged to cap carbon emissions by 2030 and achieve carbon neutrality by 2060 — part of its commitment to the Paris Agreement.
Yeah... Riiight... The old joke about how to tell when a politician is lying? His lips are moving.
Full list at the site. New York City is the first American city at #26 on the list. San Diego at #41
I think you get the picture.
