Technically, according US federal code. Anything violent to persons or property targetting the public or government is considered terrorism.
Quipod
The U.S. Code of Federal Regulations defines terrorism as "the unlawful use of force and violence against persons or property to (2)
Quipod
property to intimidate or coerce a government, the civilian population, or any segment thereof, in furtherance of political or social (3)
Quipod
objectives" (28 C.F.R. Section 0.85).

Actually quite scary how broad that definition is.

Four times. What do you mean by "doing the above"? Copy/pasting what? Images? on an image sharing site? No, that's not kinda weird.

Having 1/6 of the worlds population justifies producing 1/3 of emissions? Or that they can’t use clean manufacturing?
LetumComplexo
China has plenty of scientists and those scientists understand both global warming and its impact. They also understand that taking stands

as individuals or even small groups is a good way to get sent to political prison.

The ozone doesn’t care if you have 1/6 of the population when you’re producing almost 1/3 of the emissions
mormacil
Aye but everyone has right to as many emissions. So the US and Saudi Arabia should reduce theirs before we should look to China.
weedomi37
Dude they have more green energy compare to US and Australia . Don't forget how we offset our pollution. Send it to overseas to manufactur
Norrah
Worst deny'er.. No. I would argue that China is more progressive than USA right now. (But only because they are chasing long term profits)
Nelmathel
No for long term power. China is reliant on outside sources of Uranium, Coal and gas. China doesn't play nice and afraid of being cut off.
azarza
seems more like chinese business is afraid of being cut off - lots picked up and moved into south asia
Bivorski
China is the worst offender and their emissions have increased by more than half since 2010. The US's has gone down 10%.
Norrah
Being the worst offender isn’t the same as being the least progressive in terms of alternatives. Both America and China suck mind you.
ArklemKilo
You should probably do a little more research before claiming this since none of that is true.
GrouchyMarx
This. Not a fan of China, but let's keep it factual: China has done a shit ton more to fixing Global Warming than the US in recent years.
ArklemKilo
Guess you're unaware of the new coal plants China is building but trying to keep it secret since it looks bad after their claims of doing
ArklemKilo
The opposite to make the US and Europe look bad.
Norrah
I would argue that most people are not a fan of China.. ;) But very true. Doesn't mean it's enough..
Blud4BludGod
US is starting to make the switch, too. Trump can rollback EPA regulations all he wants, but at least as far as power is concerned the...
Blud4BludGod
...only coal and gas plants opening these days are the tail end of projects being planned years ago. Almost all of the current investment...
Blud4BludGod
...in new power infrastructure is going into renewables.
Zerteiler
Yeah, too bad it's 25 years later than the rest of the developed world...
Norrah
Not untrue. Coal and gas is very short sighted profits.
kruug
Too bad we overlook efficiency and cleanliness. Nuclear should be the end goal. LFTR.
Nuttsy
Funnily enough, relative to America, its per-capita output is about...half. Probably dropping too, iirc.
Quipod
As countries become more developed the less they become dependent on coal. But to get there they use it like a mf.
ShirleyYouCantBcereus
The ‘drop’ is measured in emissions per GDP. Only seems to drop bc GDP growth is estimated to out pace emissions increases
nonCanadianGoose
So having 1/6 of the worlds population justifies producing nearly 1/3 of the worlds emissions?
khora
It picked up again last few years.
henryvk
Still not as bad as US, Germany and UK
last1alive
Germany and the UK could definitely do more, no argument there. You're spreading false facts though. Where are the numbers to back that up?
henryvk
Instead of year on year, look up the amount of emissions racked up *historically*

ShirleyYouCantBcereus
This is a stupid way to look at the data bc it ignores the fact that post-industrialization advancements in the West have made it possible >
ShirleyYouCantBcereus
2) for other countries to industrialize at a much lower emissions cost. Not to mention the wars Germany started.
mormacil
CO2 emissions per capita in 2016 from worst to better: Saudi Arabia, Australia, USA, Canada, South Korea, Russia, Japan, Germany, Poland.

You can say exactly the same thing about anyone working against global warming that's from the US.

IndianTechSupport41
scaling, one is bad per capita the other is worse overall
mormacil
USA is worst per capita while China by sheer size is worst in pure volume. I feel the former is worst for obvious reasons.
odamanda
China has a population of 1.4 Bn. Wanna find out who's actually the worst offender, look up per capita.
kruug
Americas is 2.4, USA is 5.3. Something doesn’t add up.
YoullFindMeInALongSleeve
I think people are getting too wrapped up in this pissing contest of who is worse. We ALL need to do better here and quit expecting (1/2)
YoullFindMeInALongSleeve
Someone else to shoulder the burden for the rest of us. (2/2)
odamanda
Oh but I absolutely agree. I'm only pointing out the convenient hypocrisy of some people here unwilling to acknowledge their own behaviours.
nonCanadianGoose
Having a higher population doesn’t offset producing over a quarter of the world’s emissions. On scale, they have 1/6 of the population
odamanda
1/ Having a higher population is one of the reasons they emit that much. That's precisely my point. When the average American emits
odamanda
4/ notice that Europe, while being twice as much populated than the US, emits half as much per capita, AND less overall.
nonCanadianGoose
It’d be more relevant if the pollution was from power plants & not manufacturing. Plastics, steel products, & CFC have nothing to do w/ pop
odamanda
2/ over TWICE what the average Chinese do, it boils down to blaming China for being more populated. Which is just sheer hypocrisy, and
odamanda
3/ a cheap way out to not acknowledge your own nefarious and irresponsible behaviours. It's also convenient to focus on China and not
SecretSilly
No. Look at gross carbon produced. China is putting 30 percent of all the carbon emission into the air. Thats a full stop. The oceans...
SecretSilly
Reclaiming all that energy doesnt care about per capita.
odamanda
You expect China to do better? Then show the way. When the average US citizen emits > twice as much, you're not in a position to patronize.
odamanda
2/ It's convenient to turn a blind eye on your own emissions, and expect the rest of the world to remain below your living standards.
buttbuttpartywagon
It's more accurate to look up the overall, by sheer numbers the US is producing half the amount that china is.
ryswag
China is roughly 5 times bigger so it’s dumb to look up overall
odamanda
While it's just as important, it's not "more accurate", unless you expect the average Chinese to remain in poverty to keep emissions low.
Bruhbeans
Altho as a developing country China is one of the top polluters, they're doing a lot now to combat it. Mostly tho bc the populace already
Squeleton
Lol "developing", people still believe this? In a way it shows the amount of ignorance out there when it comes to China.
Bruhbeans
Feels the effects (smog, draught, flooding) and the communist government wants to keep them placid at all costs.
Uveryahi
They are not a developing country anymore, they are trying to game the system and stay in that category but should have been out of it.
RyanAndTheQuestForWorldDomination
What do you mean “game the system” you don’t want to be a developing country. It’s bad for industry, which China thrives on.
jetflight
Even China's official plans say that they intend to INCREASE the CO2 output. And their reality is always worse than what's written.
ArklemKilo
They're literally opening more coal power plants now but are keeping the news hidden. Them and India are by far the worst polluters.
fedoraeuphoria
Yeah, we’re finding out they’re lying about it all. Banned pollutants are being discovered in the atmosphere and being traced to China
NKato
"Developing"? Not anymore. They only retain that classification because of corruption in the UN.
SecretaryOfStateForSillyWalks
They're doing nothing to combat it, they just move all the polluters into heartland china away from the worlds eyes. They put up fake...
SecretaryOfStateForSillyWalks
... solar panels and wind turbines in shenzhen ffs. They only care about their image, not the planet.
Beardedgeek72
Yeah... that sounds like bullshit
SecretaryOfStateForSillyWalks
Sounds like bullshit but it's true, it was to fool rich western investors coming to shenzhen for the tech startups to make china look green.
