Hey, quick question, who does virtually all manufacturing for US and Canadian and EU citizens? And why is the rise of Chinas emissions so coincidentally timed to the fall of those countries'?

I didn't go into the study, but looking at all the little text blurbs about the numbers, I don't see anything about if a US citizen purchasing a product that's made in China counts as US emission, as it obviously should.

Are we forcing China to make stuff for us?

		If China suddenly stopped exporting to the US overnight, you can bet you would.

My view is that current "emission reduction" just moves jobs to China and India, which decreases overall labor rights and negatively affects the working class..

Still, if you want to have your new iPhone 18/19/20 pro ultra max, it has to be produced somewhere..

So maybe it's time to rethink this and get back to the drawing board..

		Actual emissions reductions is different from just shell-gaming emissions from the US column to the China column. Greenwashing is real, but that doesn’t mean reducing emissions isn’t a real thing we can do.
