After finding this yt channel based on a Yogthos post, I went through a couple of their recent videos and I thought this was a good review. I timestamped the part where he goes into green energy/CO2 production.
Awhile ago I did some semi-deep diving into the energy use of China, as I am trying to gather as much factual based information as possible about all the liberal conspiracy theories about China. This segment pretty much sums up what I found as well.

China has waaaaay more people than the US, so it makes sense their emissions are higher ->as a whole<-- (For example, if china was, like 10 countries, none of them would have high emissions and the US would have no one to pint a finger at)
-
After taking into account that the average Chinese citizen produces almost half of the emissions of an american, you can ->further<- take into account that most of China’s emissions are in manufacturing (In america, it’s as much transportation as anything else, in China transpiration is very small by comparison, the video covers that too), and most of those emissions are actually going to foreign lands, mostly Americans and Europeans. After taking this into account I think it reduces China’s emissions by at least 20%, and I think that puts the average Chinese person below half the emissions of an american.

The world cannot be sustained if everyone lived like an american. It is a privileged position, and thus, Americas emissions (and history of total emissions) is the reason that other countries are not “allowed” to advance like America has.
I just thought this was a fantastic review. Send this to any dumb lib online who thinks that China is the cause of global warming. The probably won’t watch, but hopefully someone will.
