Your daily reminder that despite producing most of the world’s goods, China isn’t even near the top generator of CO2 per capita, sitting at around half that of the US.

It’s starting to feel like old Lemmy again with these trash headlines being torn apart
In what reality does China even get close to making a quarter of the world’s products let alone “most”?
Edit: the source below talks about pre-COVID numbers and manufacturing has absolutely moved out of China since then.
If you want to be specific, they make 28.7% (2019) of the world’s manufacturing output. So yes, more than a quarter.
That has changed since COVID. They are under a quarter as manufacturing has been moved away from China.

Didn’t China’s manufacturing output increase by 25% in dollar terms since 2019?
Would dollar terms be relevant metric since the costs went up post COVID? It’s total goods manufactured and that dipped.
