So, even though China's industrial might and output outstrips the rest of the world [which is why it uses the most energy] it is well below the west in terms of waste and harmful impacts.
Makes you think doesn't it? This is where each person's efforts to do something, however small they may appear to be, make a real difference, and having an EV or even better no car at all [when there is a viable public access alternative] will steer us in the right direction providing those in power take the necessary steps to stop using fossil fuels NOW!
It would be even more informative to have a table including embedded carbon from trade.
This gives some indication of the impact of exporting our carbon emissions by globalising trade.
