What!? Every single thing you said is wrong. There are a multitude of things we can do about it. Stopping dairy conversions is one. We should absolutely care about it. Storms, flooding and coastal inundation being the proven outcomes of sea temp rises. Increasing emission is the opposite of what we should do. I can't fathom the logic that would make anyone come to that conclusion. China should be applauded, their rollout of renewables is world leading. Obvious troll is obvious I guess

You've fallen for Chinese propaganda. China is not leading the world in the rollout of renewables. Theyre behind the world average and significantly behind Europe. They also pollute the most by far. They produce more emissions than the next 6 countries combined.

If they are "leading the world" please tell me what % of their energy came from renewables im 2022, 2023, 2024. Then show me the world average then show me Europe.

Where are you getting your numbers from. China has lower per capita emissions than NZ and most other countries

Why would per capita emissions be the stat we look at? That makes no sense. I'm getting my numbers from IEA energy reports.

And by the way china has higher per capita emissions than nz and most of the world.

Sure it does. You know what doesn't make sense? Comparing the emissions of a country with five million people to a country with a billion people saying "see we are good, they are evil".
