El Cambio Climático es causado por la concentración de gases de efecto invernadero; a pesar de que se reduzcan las emisiones, el aumento de la temperatura continuará (a no ser que se disminuya la concentración de estos gases) Estados Unidos ha sido durante muchos años el principal emisior de los GEI, es co-responsable DIRECTO en este gran problema; China recién a aumentado sus emisiones.
Not so much. China is an easy target to blame for the climate crisis. In the midst of its industrial revolution, China has overtaken the United States as the world’s biggest carbon dioxide producer. And everyone has read about the one-a-week pace of power plant construction there. But those numbers are misleading, and not just because a lot of that carbon dioxide was emitted to build products for the West to consume. Rather, it’s because China has four times the population of the United States, and per capita is really the only way to think about these emissions. And by that standard, each Chinese person now emits just over a quarter of the carbon dioxide that each American does. Not only that, but carbon dioxide lives in the atmosphere for more than a century. China has been at it in a big way less than 20 years, so it will be many, many years before the Chinese are as responsible for global warming as Americans.

“It’s China’s Fault”
