I thought you had a typo… You’re unimpressed because China has… population growth?

And yes, in the path to decarbonization, they’ve been explicit that it’s a process. You cannot expect a developing economy to instaneously transition to a net zero economy while growing, that’s an insane ask.

If you read the second article you linked a bit more closely, you’ll note that they are talking about China’s rapid development. It would be absurd to imagine an economy growing that rapidly could do so while keeping their total emissions the same.

Meanwhile though, how does this compare to America? What major decarbonization efforts are they undergoing? To my understanding, they are so hell bent on undoing Green projects that they are even cancelling those that Biden put in red districts in an attempt to shield them from the Republicans almost sociopathic disregard for climate change. So, in a question of whom we’d prefer on climate policy, I’m not quite understanding what the heck you’re trying to say? China’s not perfect but you can see a path to climate neutrality, without wishful thinking, do you see anything comparable at a Federal level in America?

Something China and Elon Musk have in common is this concept of birtherism that old generations need to be replaced via breeding programs. Immigration would easily fix the issue, but too many countries would rather die than let in more brown people.

If you care about Climate and/or Quality of Life on this earth then you should be very clearly against human population increases. The number of people needs to go down or emissions never will.

I’m not advocating for America, especially not for Tesla, I’m saying China is worse. China is a seething boiling pot of hatred and violence that is about to boil over like Cheonma’s cult invading Murim, that is their entire culture: might makes right. If Canada wants EVs they would be better off choosing from one of the many other nations who specialize in automobiles and don’t want to murder them all as part of a contrived sociopolitical scheme to weaken their competitors on the world stage.

I simultaneously care about the climate and have a reality based view of the world, which is something I don’t think we share.

Have a good day.

Enjoy fake reality, scrub. I accept your defeat.
