And even then, China is doing more than the US despite US being the superpower. China’s $890bn investment in clean-energy sectors is almost as large as total global investments in fossil fuel supply in 2023 – and similar to the GDP of Switzerland or Turkey. And republican's are going to let China take the lead of future efficiency through renewable energy all because they want to protect fossil fuel interests. The one good thing out of this is that at least China seem to be taking it seriously and are looking like they will transition even without the US taking the lead. And if they continue, then at least republicans can't keep saying "what about China". They've really put themselves into a corner with that rhetoric.

That top 10 percent figure is for USA. This is talking about world wide, so likely the top 10 percent is for a lot of people in the USA, and other western countries....There are a lot of people in 3rd world countries that don't contribute any emissions compared to the average low income person in a western country.

It seems they also recently started requiring you to login if it notices you are on VPN. At least for me it's being doing that recently. And it seems they use browser fingerprinting, which tracks with the data selling.
