US must counteract China's rapidly increasing carbon emissions

It is impossible to combat global climate change and mitigate its negative impacts on the world, without confronting the exponentially growing carbon dioxide emissions problem stemming from China.

American innovation and leadership have resulted in massive reductions in U.S. emissions. In fact, the United States cut its emissions more than the next dozen carbon-reducing countries combined between 2005 and 2017. In contrast, China’s emissions have quadrupled since 1990. In fact, for every ton of carbon dioxide reduced by the U.S., China’s emissions increased by over four tons. As a result, by 2030, China is expected to produce more than 30% of global emissions.
