Where are you getting that info? This is two years old and China downplays emission data.

    Your image shows US as 434 billion and china as 285, which is a smaller gap than my source, but not completely different. It’s weird it’s not listed in order.

    My source is:

    https://www.carbonbrief.org/analysis-which-countries-are-historically-responsible-for-climate-change/

    As far as I know carbon brief are well respected and not a Chinese puppet, but I admit I that doesn’t mean they’re completely correct.

    Edit: I see now that’s a little out of date. 2021.

    They have an updated one from 2024, https://www.carbonbrief.org/analysis-chinas-emissions-have-now-caused-more-global-warming-than-eu/

    Which doesn’t change my original assertion about the US having higher cumulative emissions, but does change the scale of the difference a bit, and discusses whether China will ever overtake the US (looks like it might be a toss up)
