I am surprised China is not among top 5. Are they being dishonest about their stats?

There is a good chance some data is fudged, Afterall world only knows about China what China wants world to know. But China has done a lot to improve their air quality. They are also fairly wealthy now and can afford lot more investment. China also has a lot of EV and being an autocratic government will always get more out of any public policy they make

Of course not. They are probably comfortably perched at number #93 on this list.

Also they gave only had 35 Covid deaths btw.

China has a massive waste management operation.

They processed waste from UK until recently but stopped a couple of years ago.

Also a huge commitment to renewable energy, thinking decades forward, unlike climate change deniers in the West.

50% of the world’s total CO2 emissions come from China, the US, and India. In this regard, the rest of the world turning the lights off, eating homegrown vegetables and driving around in electric cars won’t touch the surface to be fair.

It is good then. Renewable energy should become more mainstream.

As expected they are majority Muslim countries and the subcontinent. We all know these countries are all dumps full of poverty and religious fanatics.
