flag China’s 12-day carbon emissions exceed Australia’s annual total, driven by rampant coal use.

flag China's carbon emissions over the past 12 days surpassed Australia’s annual total, highlighting a global disparity in climate impact. flag While Australia has reduced its global emissions share to 1% since 2004, China accounts for 73% of the world’s emissions increase, driven by a surge in coal use—66 coal plants per one in Australia. flag Despite Australia’s net zero goals, critics argue the effort is ineffective and economically harmful, claiming it risks over 630,000 jobs and accelerates de-industrialization, with little global climate impact due to Australia’s small emissions footprint.
