So not what you said in your previous comment then. Besides that, I’ve been using the average figures for the entire EU the whole time. Your own link has that figure. I told you where it is as well. Energy usage is close, and consumption-based emissions are identical.

It is what I said in my previous comment. To get the average for EU, you’d have to add up all the countries together. What you’re doing is cherry picking pars of Europe and comparing them to China’s average. If you still can’t understand the fallacy you’re making then there’s likely no point continuing this.

Again: solar panels vs coal. There is not a 1:1 correlation. Stop ignoring that. It’s not helpful to anyone.

Nobody is ignoring anything here. The whole context of the discussion is that China is rapidly ramping up production of solar power.

The reality we live in is that the west carries the biggest historical burden for the climate crisis, and right now China is making a meaningful transition from fossil fuels while western countries are dragging their feet. What’s more Europe is now talking about banning electric cars from China and complaining and moaning about becoming dependent on China for its renewable infrastructure at a time everyone should be working together to make the transition as fast as possible.

No, it isn’t. You said highest in China and then gave the average for China as your source.

To get the average for EU, you’d have to add up all the countries together. What you’re doing is cherry picking pars of Europe and comparing them to China’s average.

I’m literally taking the entire EU average from your source. I have been consistently and completely clear about that. Why are you lying so blatantly? Seriously, quote me cherry picking just part of the EU. I can sure as hell quote you cherry-picking specific parts of it.

You’re literally not doing that because the source is breaking Europe into emissions by country. Seems like you’re the one blatantly lying here. What I said repeatedly here is that the lowest emissions in EU countries are on par with China, however many of the northern EU countries are much higher. So, when you add it all up that’s a higher number. I don’t know if you’re lying intentionally or just incapable of understanding basic math here.

I already said that you can go to the chart view on the source and get the EU figure. It is in there if you take five seconds to look.
