    I agree with Simon. At the end of the day this chart has neocon sticky fingers all over it. Source IMF etc. Meanwhile the exponential growth by China is most likely pumped up by IMF as a narrative for neocon conversations. When did the economists predicted economic status correctly? Best reference is surely Hudson, although I do believe that China has already overtaken USA economically. Hence the warmongering.



    So, these are the facts and to have a tangential conversation about climate change is either a strawman or a different kettle of fish.

    I’ll bite though. Discuss which countries have caused the global warming etc for the last 250 odd years. For what? So that the golden billion can just cream off and tell everyone to stop NOW. Like hell. They can deindustrialise in the west and leave the management of the industries and the greening of the planet to the rest (7 billion). I trust them more than the corruption we had so far from the west. That notion probably doesn’t sit well with a westerner that has one’s belief system tied to the west ..

    Talking about metrics - which country lifted millions of its population out of poverty? China's poverty rate fell from 88 percent in 1981 to 0.7 percent in 2015 (wiki)

    Let’s see how much the west will handout to the South etc after COP 27.
