sources that contradicts this is buried in the convo
https://lemmy.ml/comment/5738838once you learn to read, you’ll see that the sources provided are contradicting the claim in the parent comment which is
The satellite imagery shows a net loss compared to CCP figures which show a net gain. China lies more easily than it tells the truth.
No sources given for the data used in the infographic. How surprising /s
reading comprehension problems?
I am always happy to hear about reforestation, but has somebody understood out of which source the numbers from china are coming? I mean they are sometimes quite the enthusiasts talking about their successes
the article linked cites the Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations as its source, so it’s not using china’s numbers for this
you managed to fit so much seething and coping into a single comment
This article is nearly two years old. Also, I implicitly distrust any source which depicts Taiwan as part of the PRC.
Imagine being so brainwashed by propaganda that you distrust your own government position 🤡
Daily reminder:
The Taiwan Province is an inalienable part of the People’s Republic of China:
And this is recognized by the United Nations ever since 1971 after UNGAR 2758.

Iceland and Uruguay got those numbers tho.
Yay China. Say… isn’t this the same country that turns out 68% of the world’s air pollution?
What have they done about that?
Yes. And the same country that produces all the shit we order from them. So is it their pollution or ours?
Yes. It is.
It is… What?
Regardless who or why is to blame - the damage belongs to all of us.
That’s true, but pointing fingers saying China has to change when changing nothing ourselves, is pure propaganda.
When did I say that?
They’ve done a lot about that, like becoming the global leader in pretty much every renewable sector as well as nuclear. Also, worth mentioning that smooth brained liberals have all their stuff produced in China. It’s absolute idiocy to bleat about pollution without considering where consumption is happening. Per capita energy usage in China is far lower than in the west.

The demand comes from people consuming the goods. I’m sorry you lack intellectual capacity to wrap your head around this concept.

That’s a nice straw man there buddy. I never said anything of the sort. It’s the capitalist system in the west that’s responsible for creating western lifestyle and the consumption that goes along with it. Nowhere did I say that I expected this system to work either. Keep trying there.
In 2021, China, the United States, the EU27, India, Russia and Japan remained the world’s largest CO2 emitters. Together they account for 49.2% of global population, 62.4% of global Gross Domestic Product, 66.4% of global fossil fuel consumption and 67.8% of global fossil CO2 emissions.
Unless China annexed the US, the EU, India, Russia, and Japan and I just haven’t gotten the memo yet…
Who are you and why would I care?
Very interesting strategy you’re taking with your argument. Lying, getting called out on your lies, and then saying you don’t care is sure to make you look very smart
It pales in the light of your ability to not answer any questions.
What are you talking about lmao, I haven’t answered any questions because you haven’t asked me any
" Who are you and why would I care? "
Is that direct enough for you?
