And they keep going "what about Gina?" Heard that shit as late as yesterday.
China is the fourth most oil producing country in the world, and that's bad, but they're pretty fucking far from being in top three. China could triple their oil production and not make the top three.
The top three is in order from top to bottom: USA, Saudi Arabia, Russia.
Usually the people screaming what about China also forget that per capita the US is still producing more greenhouses gases, and that much of the greenhouse gases emitted in China are to manufacture things used in other countries or arguments about historical emissions burden.
China has work to do too, but per capita there are a whole bunch of countries that emit more per capita.
US is at 256% global average emissions per capita, China is at 157% global average. So China is still above average, but not as bad as the US, Russia, Australia, Canada, or many Middle eastern countries right now. Though also should be noted the US is on an improving trend whereas China is on a worsening trend, though looks like hopefully China may be reversing this trend soon, they seem to be at least plateauing.
