China is approximately 40x the size of the UK, and has 20x the people. Using "the last 250 years" is not in any way a comparable term. The UK was emitting (in 2000) roughly what China is emitting today, 9.36 tonnes/capita then for the UK vs 9.24 tonnes/capita now for China. China is behind the UK on the curve from industrialisation to clean industrialisation but the "250 years" thing is just designed to present them in a bad light. Neither of them are close to the USA, which is running at 13.8 tonnes/capita right now. |
