Rules (2024-08-30)
- This is an English-language community. Comments should be in English. Posts can link to non-English news sources when providing a full-text translation in the post description. Automated translations are fine, as long as they don't overly distort the content.
- No links to misinformation or commercial advertising. When you post outdated/historic articles, add the year of publication to the post title. Infographics must include a source and a year of creation; if possible, also provide a link to the source.
- Be kind to each other, and argue in good faith. Don't post direct insults nor disrespectful and condescending comments. Don't troll nor incite hatred. Don't look for novel argumentation strategies at Wikipedia's List of fallacies.
- No bigotry, sexism, racism, antisemitism, islamophobia, dehumanization of minorities, or glorification of National Socialism. We follow German law; don't question the statehood of Israel.
- Be the signal, not the noise: Strive to post insightful comments. Add "/s" when you're being sarcastic (and don't use it to break rule no. 3).
- If you link to paywalled information, please provide also a link to a freely available archived version. Alternatively, try to find a different source.
- Light-hearted content, memes, and posts about your European everyday belong in other communities.
- Don't evade bans. If we notice ban evasion, that will result in a permanent ban for all the accounts we can associate with you.
- No posts linking to speculative reporting about ongoing events with unclear backgrounds. Please wait at least 12 hours. (E.g., do not post breathless reporting on an ongoing terror attack.)
- Always provide context with posts: Don't post uncontextualized images or videos, and don't start discussions without giving some context first.
(This list may get expanded as necessary.)
Posts that link to the following sources will be removed
- on any topic: Al Mayadeen, brusselssignal:eu, citjourno:com, europesays:com, Breitbart, Daily Caller, Fox, GB News, geo-trends:eu, news-pravda:com, OAN, RT, sociable:co, any AI slop sites (when in doubt please look for a credible imprint/about page), change:org (for privacy reasons), archive:is,ph,today (their JS DDoS websites)
- on Middle-East topics: Al Jazeera
- on Hungary: Euronews
Unless they're the only sources, please also avoid The Sun, Daily Mail, any "thinktank" type organization, and non-Lemmy social media (incl. Substack). Don't link to Twitter directly, instead use xcancel.com. For Reddit, use old:reddit:com
(Lists may get expanded as necessary.)
Ban lengths, etc.
We will use some leeway to decide whether to remove a comment.
If need be, there are also bans: 3 days for lighter offenses, 7 or 14 days for bigger offenses, and permanent bans for people who don't show any willingness to participate productively. If we think the ban reason is obvious, we may not specifically write to you.
If you want to protest a removal or ban, feel free to write privately to the admin that applied the rule (check modlog first to find who was it.)

And:
You can't offload all manufacturing to China, buy their shit, then point the finger of increasing emissions.
Yeah i am not going to integrate random graphs on my phone for a lemmy post, but depending on the time frame in the century it was even more than 10 (60s-70s Europe and Japan had 8t each while China had 2t) and towards the end a little less doesnt really matter for the point does it?
Your own graph shows that western nations and their people are historically the major contributors towards CO2.
The 80% was hyperbole yes, but your second graph shows China making 6x more than Japan while your first graph shows China only recently overtaking Japan in per capita CO2.
Now we have squirreled around the elephant in the room, by criticizing the inaccuracy of my statistical evaluation in a comment made through my breakfast. So riddle me this: What is the country that has cumulatively produced most CO2 and like double the second? (sorry for approximating and not giving you 20 significant figures)
What is the country that elected a "drill baby drill" president - twice? What is the country known for excessive CO2 heavy lifestyles, think yachts, private jets, rolling coal, heavy AC use, weakly isolated buildings, constantly blowing shit up from jets that other countrys then need to rebuild? And in contrast what is the country known for building solar and battery cells? Someone here is looking at the stats, misrepresenting the key points and that one is not me.
