Aron Flam wrote that the USA and Europe closed mines, gas fields, pipelines, refineries, and power plants, while the replacement was largely manufactured in China with cheap and largely dirty coal power. He stated that China accounted for 55.8 percent of the world's coal combustion in 2024 and produced 51.7 percent of the coal. That same year, the country began to build 94.5 gigawatts of new coal power, which according to Flam corresponded to 93 percent of all new coal power in the world and was the highest level in a decade. He also wrote that China burned more coal than all other countries combined and accounted for nearly a third of emissions. Flam stated that the USA had reduced its emissions by about 13 percent since 2010 and that the EU had reduced its emissions by more than 25 percent since the year 2000. During the same period, China, according to him, had increased its annual carbon dioxide emissions by over three billion tons – more than the entire EU's emissions. He claimed that the emissions thus remained, but were booked in the country that had taken over the factories. He also referred to an entire section on YouTube and wrote that the link was in the comments. #Klimatförändring #Koldioxidutsläpp #Energi (translated)
