Good news for China, bad news for US. But don't forget China still emit 16B compared to US who emit 6B tons of CO2

So tell me why are you using absolute numbers?

Those are the numbers that matter. Percentages are how you lie with statistics.

What matters is that the US' number keeps growing.

It hasn't. It's been down since 2007 despite increased population.
