If, however, you look at it from a per capita point of view, which is far more sensible when you think about it, the US produces 15.74 tonnes per person, whilst China only produces 7.72.
He'll be moaning that those giant fans must use a lot of electricity to produce all that wind an'all.
Dont underestimate this fella's knowledge baseAny odds on him blaming increased wind speeds on turbines blowing the air around?
You may joke, but a mate sent me a link to a youtube video for a laugh, it was this covid denier, anti-vaxxer, climate change denier, and he was being serious in telling his viewers that wind turbines used more electricity than they produced, FFS.
Yes, I've heard this. It's an example of figures don't lie, but liars figure. The person who came up with that figure looked at all of the processes used in producing turbines including mining, manufacturing, and shipping values. He used the largest values possible and then used a very short lifespan for the turbines to get this figure.
This guy wasn't that 'bright', he was actually claiming more electric was used to turn the turbines than they actually produced, it was truly bonkers.
He probably heard the previous figure and was too dumb to understand it, or how it was calculated.
Because he's under felony indictment.Really? Why not?
Rich and powerful, lazy and thickhe really is completely mental.
It won't be out by 500 million, figure has been 1.3 billion at least for some years now. India has indeed overtaken though.I'd check that number against their current population count. They've substantially overcounted their population (I've heard estimates as low as 800 million. That number would put them at parity). You also have to look at if the emissions are climbing or falling.
They also have a population crisis as the birth rates of their younger demographic have fallen dramatically:
Did China overestimate its births? Leaked data raises questions
Differences between official census, hacked information identified by scholar in U.S.asia.nikkei.com
I think India has surpassed them population wise.
Although, part of the issue is that a lot of China's pollution will come from making stuff for other countries.
"I don't need to consume less, look at China ffs" - it's all linked.
Not aiming this comment at you Yuwipi Woman, just a general comment.
I wonder how he explains yachts then.I don't think so, he was even comparing the sails on old windmills to the blades on the turbines, and explaining how they were just too thin to turn on their own!
Hands are too small to hold one safelyReally? Why not?
Because he's under felony indictment.
Donald Trump Said He Wanted To Buy A Handgun, But Surprise! He's Banned.

So next year there's the potential that he could have his finger on the nuclear button, but wouldn't be allowed to buy a gun.Because he's under felony indictment.

Good.He'd very likely have a handling accident
And stricter than Trump had realised, oops:Ah, right. Thanks.
Stricter gun laws than I had realised..
Trump spokesperson Steven Cheung said Monday on social media that the former president bought a Glock, but then another Trump spokesperson clarified that the purchase did not actually happen. Cheung deleted his tweet and did not respond to a query from HuffPost.
A representative from Palmetto State Armory in Summerville, South Carolina, told HuffPost that Trump visited the store on Monday but didn’t buy anything.
Appalling thought isn't it.o next year there's the potential that he could have his finger on the nuclear button, but wouldn't be allowed to buy a gun.

And much smaller, so he may not be able to depress the button fully
I don't think I'd want to have my freedom depending on Trump's sense of loyalty and gratitude.Wasn't this a federal rather than state case?
If so, and if Trump gets re-elected, he could pardon the twats.
Save the whales
Which is why they never entrusted Beadle with The Button.
But what happens if someone gives him one?
He probably heard the previous figure and was too dumb to understand it, or how it was calculated. If you listen to these figures as they filter through the information ecosystem, they often mutate.
I was banging my head on the table this morning over this story in the Fail:
Mystery as nearly 50 children go missing from Cleveland in September
According to the Ohio Attorney General's office, there have been over 45 missing minors in the greater Cleveland area since the start of the month.www.dailymail.co.uk
If you actually read the story, which most of the Fail's "readers" will not do, you find that half of those kids are home in 24 hrs. 96% get back home within a short time after that. Only a small percentage stay missing over a longer period of time. I suspect if you really looked at those kids, you'd find previously existing issues in the family that either got them kicked out, or they left because home was untenable. I wouldn't be surprised if many of them were molested in the home, or came out as gay or trans. However, if you're dumb enough to read the comments (guilty as charged), most people assume those 1,000 kids, who go missing per year, are gone forever and they're all in the hands of pedophiles, or worse yet Democrats! The pitch of this article wasn't an accident.
