@GustavoMan627 In reply to GustavoMan627. That's a terrible way to look at it. First of all, the US has a quarter of the population as China does - that's a completely apples to rhinos comparison. Second, who has the most cars is hardly a bragging point. If anything, it could be seen as an inefficiency. If Americans walk, bike, or even work from home, that's an even lower carbon footprint than driving is; if we look at it that way, China is failing quite badly by comparison.
