How China became the biggest polluter and source of renewable energy at the same time | DW News

China's climate story is a contradiction. On one hand, it produces more emissions than any other country, by far. But it’s also investing significantly more in renewable energy than anyone else. How do these two extreme positions come together?

    It depends on how you calculate it. First It is necessary to calculate the historical cumulative emissions of each country.

Second, the cumulative emissions should be based on per human capita or per human capita per unit of earth area.

    You are absolutely right when you say "According to the universal standards of human rights, everyone has the equal right to a happy life.". China today have advantages to invest on more advanced technologies than many developed countries did one the past and today they have understood the CO2 emission and pollution from fossil fuels better. Following the same way which is damaging environment and health of peoples by polluting "your cities" will damage China peoples health and is not happy life. Wind and Solar energies really are helping China, but these energies are intermittent, need energy storing, energy transition lines and distribution and have low efficiency. The SMR may be better for China and others, but are expensive and need radioactive fuel. China has opportunity to invest on new clean technology which is not disclosed and can produce energy using levitation-gravity power. This does not depend from any fuel, the energy can be generated on demand, close consumers which will save China capital expenditure for storing and transmitting. Contact me and I will arrange bilateral talks between China representative and inventors of levitation-gravity engine. This is an opportunity which will help China to accelerate energy transition and make the country secure and independent on clean energy needs.

    The responsibility for carbon emissions should be assigned to the locations where end products are shipped and consumed.

Consider restricting imports, especially those produced using environmentally harmful energy sources, to the EU; however, be prepared for a potential increase in inflation.

After that, it will gradually decline quite rapidly meeting the Paris agreement a decade earlier than agreed upon, because they've been building renewable plants heavily for the past decade and this will be their primary source of generating power. The coal will actually be used as a backup in case if it's needed or to support the renewable plants.

    China suffers from notoriously bad air pollution in the past that is an environmental challenges. The US has caused the most global warming throughout the past century. The impact of industrialization in the West and the US make things with machines that ran on fuels which, when burned, released and emitted carbon dioxide and other gases that trap heat in the earth’s atmosphere. US is the biggest polluter in the world. For the past century, the US and the colonial power of the west in the bygone era release more CO2 than the rest of the world combined. The carbon stock is still in the atmosphere. With China opening up to the West to foreign investments and technology in the late 1978 and the vast labor force to the global market, China finally began its own era of industrialization. It is very difficult for western media looking through the western lens that a non-white country like China is able to rise up and overtake the US and the west into a largest economy. From an agricultural industries to a manufacturing industries, China is able to lifts itself to a modern economy within 40 years. There is nothing wrong for China as a developing country to transformed itself so fast. China has manage to uplifts 800 millions of its population out of poverty. China and India are the world largest economy in the past. It is a matter of time when China and India will become the large economy in the world. China is the large emitter of CO2. China and India is projected to have emitted more total carbon dioxide than all of Europe by 2039 and more than the United States by 2050. It is not a surprise when you have 1.4 billion people. India has 1.4 billion people. In term of per person, China ranking stands at 40 position. US, Australia and Canada produce twice as much CO2 per person. China determined attempt in reforestation and greening the desert to stop it from spreading further is part of its effort to stop climate from deteriorating further. The rail infrastructure for such a large country like China instead of using diesel cars will helped lessening carbon emission into the air thereby causing the greenhouse effect. China is promoting the electric cars instead of diesel and petrol cars to promote greener energy. Solar energy capacity and wind turbine technology on a big scale to promote green energy. So China is doing more than its fair share when compare to the US in fighting climate change. China looks forward to collaboration from all parties to ensure that COP28 “continues and deepens ‘joint implementation’ and uses the global stocktake as an opportunity to send a positive signal of focused action and strengthened cooperation”. China releases this climate action report every year, taking stock of progress in areas including mitigation, adaptation, and international cooperation, and stating its basic COP position. The report states that non-fossil energy sources accounted for 17.5% of China’s energy consumption in 2022, and that its renewable electricity installed capacity stands at 1.2 terawatts, or 34.4% of the world total. China is providing “pragmatic support” to African countries, small island countries, least developed countries and other developing countries. As of September 2023, it has signed 48 South-South cooperation agreements on climate change, built four low-carbon demonstration zones, carried out 75 climate mitigation and adaptation projects, and provided training courses for more than 100 developing countries. “Responsibly dealing with climate change requires a proactive and pragmatic approach.” China has always attached great importance to ecological civilization. The COP28 will act on multilateralism and conduct global stocktake focusing on implementation. He also hopes it would fully respond to the demands of developing countries, promote developed countries to demonstrate the necessary flexibility in reaching multilateral solutions, send a positive signal to the international community through practical actions, and promote the comprehensive and effective implementation of the Paris Agreement. China's economic and social development has entered a comprehensive green transformation track. China's installed capacity of wind, solar, water, and biomass power generation ranks first in the world. China has become a major supplier of wind, solar, and power battery equipment, significantly reducing the deployment costs of global renewable energy and helping many developing countries access clean, reliable, and affordable energy. China currently holds large shares in solar energy, wind power, hydrogen energy, electric vehicles, and is leading the green and low-carbon transformation globally. China is now leading the charge in creating a green China and game transformation, both in diplomatic and technological terms. China is doing more than its fair share when compare to the US in fighting climate change. Every countries must work together to ensure that our children have a chance to survive in an inhospitable world they inherited from us. We should try to save the world from extinction instead of indulging a mean-spirited comments.

    Whatever else. In the end China will not just be the biggest single emitter of greenhouse gases at one time. It will also be the single biggest combined historic emitter. That's actually not that far of. At some point in 2030-2050 the biggest historic share of emissions will be China's. And then that part of the discussion must change. If it were up to me, then this unavoidable fact should already be part of the discussion. In the world of tomorrow the largest share of global warming from greenhouse gas emissions, and the associated climate change and sea level rise, will be attributable to China. Just because this is not true yet today; Won't make it any less true tomorrow.
