    Slightly surprising

    https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencet...use-gases.html

    Just 25 'mega-cities' produce 52 per cent of the world's urban greenhouse gas emissions — and 23 of them are in China
    • Researchers from Sun Yat-sen University recorded the emissions of 167 cities
    • The largest carbon emitters were found to be Asian megacities like Shanghai
    • Cities in Europe and the US emit more than those in most developing countries
    • Of 42 cities with data spanning 2012–2016, 30 showed emissions reductions
    • Yet the team warned we are not on track to meet global climate change targets
    Now if only we had set tariffs based on climate change rather than just bought the cheapest!
    Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.

    That's what EU is doing going forward and China won't be able to do much about it, unlike UK that is far easier to pressure now, thanks to Bre...xit cre....tins like you.

      So the EU are going to put tarifs on goods from China, but the UK isn't? I wonder whose consumers will be the happier about that...
      His heart is in the right place - shame we can't say the same about his brain...
