    And from Wikipedia:

    Greenhouse gas emissions by China are the largest of any country in the world both in production and consumption terms, and stem mainly from coal burning in China, including coal-fired power stations, coal mining,[3] and blast furnaces producing iron and steel.[4] When measuring production-based emissions, China emitted over 14 gigatonnes (Gt) CO2eq of greenhouse gases in 2019,[5] 27% of the world total.[6][7] When measuring in consumption-based terms, which adds emissions associated with imported goods and extracts those associated with exported goods, China accounts for 13 gigatonnes (Gt) or 25% of global emissions.[8]

    So, yeah, bullshit map














  • Southern Europe: Mostly by car, sadly. Bike commuting is something that is hard in small cities that does not focus on pedestrian/bike infrastructure. I try to walk as much as I can. But my city is designed for cars, not people.

    On other hand, al least here, there’s a uprising of electric scooters and personal mobility vehicules at the moment, I think mostly because of problems with parking spaces and economic struggle withing some comunities, that priorize an economic scooter over a second hand car that can have bigger manteinance costs.
