- Nations around the world have been reacting to the landmark United Nations climate report that issued a “code red” warning to humanity.
Experts agree that without big reductions in global carbon dioxide emissions the world cannot win the fight against climate change.
China is the world's largest emitter of carbon dioxide, followed by the United States and India.
Sophie Raworth presents BBC News at Ten reporting of reaction to the new warnings - from Barbara Plett-Usher in the US - Dan Johnson in Delhi - and Robin Brant in Shanghai.

Government: “We all need to reduce carbon emissions and pollution.”

Government: “…”
Public: “That includes oil companies and their CEO’s right?!”
Government: "Yeah... sure."
This is true that's how they react..they (governments an greedy rich people)always put oils first before climate change 😠😡😡😡😞
Capitalism at it's finest. As long as they can make money, they'll destroy the environment as much as they need to make more money and will not stop.
Removing fuel from the existence right now will impact the whole economy. Until we have alternative in large we can't remove oil

Why are they saying "your country, your economy" we all live in one earth and all will experience the consequences
yeah, but we can't take part in anyway to change what those 3 countries are doing.
Because no one cares about the world. But governments care about their own country and their own economy lmao
Then ask all countries to make the whole world similar to EU

They are brainwashing the wise to become the fools. And you say that the politicians are doing nothing. I wouldn’t call that doing nothing.
@@jackofalltrades8412 Could not agree more. It’s all a money grabbing racket.
"China and India are among the biggest emitters" is misleading. Emissions per capita is what really matters. The middle and high income people mainly in rich countries are those who pollute the most. And they are also those who can reduce their emissions and their consumption in general, without negative effects on their quality of life. This is because rich people and rich countries overconsume. They have reached an stage scientists call "overdevelopment". Poor people do pollute but mainly because there are a lot of them. But they are not the ones called to reduce consumption, because this would further submerge them in poverty.
Good point
climate change is a business in it self
This is so true. Most enviromentalist would agree per capita is a better guage and the US is still one of the top!
The earth doesn't care for borders or population. They are the biggest polluters and therefore their inactions affects the most.
It's just that wealthy Nations should aim for more than just zero to compensate
Yes but no, no but yes.
Indias emissions are ranked number 3 but one should also keep in mind that it is home to more than 1.3 billion people .. and if we calculate per capita emissions usa would come first .. although the blame games would get us nowhere .. this needs to be fought as a species not as individual countries.
True
the same could be said for China
@@samwelagwata3845 that's true , but China's emissions are almost 4 times of India's .. so there situation is not exactly comparable to India's as the population is not 4 times the India's. But if you bring in the level of economic development they have been able to achieve, it makes sense .. to put it simply China can cut more corners .. or they can afford to provide more to this cause😄.
1.3 billion. It's seriously time for a 1 child policy or smthing. I know India is as big as a continent, but man, its too crowded.
Kinda feel bad and selfish to say this. But what's true is true
We need synchronous, active action. We need to be unite as humanity for the first time in history, for real this time. Everybody will be affected and everybody will die, even if we are distant from one another. We need to legislate emissions in the same way EVERYWHERE, so that big oil companies can't escape the change and laws are equal for everybody. Somebody will be hit harder than others, but so does happen with climate change. We need to help eachother because, between co2, chemicals, acid rains and oceans, melting permafrost, huge wildfires and floods, we're all fucked otherwise.

Per capita emissions are multiple times higher in developed countries than in developing countries. People need to consume less in developed countries in order for China to produce less products, and less usage of coal. It'll hurt both economies, but do it slowly with 10% reductions in consumption annually will help the world emit much less.
rounded up carbon emission tons per citizen:
china: 2
germany: 2,4
USA: 4
germany i would claim is a developed country, right? So there is room for the USA to improve, even more so as there is also still room to imrpove in germany.
There are 5 billion Chinese, which the CCP lies and says there only 1.4 billion. The US is only 300 million, about a 16th China's population, with about 30% more arable land. No only is the US a drop in the bucket the resource consumption of China, China's overpopulation can basically be seen as human pollution. Using percapita numbers divides one of China's major, life-ending pollution problems by another major, life-ending pollution problem. You would want to divide by arable land area, which is the boundary condition, not population.
Also, China reports the numbers to the UN, so the numbers are way off. They actually claim about 3 times as much pollution as the US, whereas independent studies using hand held meters, show *China at about 10 times more pollution than the US.* 13x if you report per acre of arable land. *India produces about 5x more pollution than the US,* with about 3% more arable land. *I'm afraid the culprit here is developing nations, especially those that massively overpopulated before they decided to become consumer economies.*

So damn true, it's jarring hearing those meaningless arguments, just wasting more time and not even discussing actual solutions
@@undeuxtrois123 exactly
Use the "per capita emissions graph" instead as it gives a significantly more accurate representation of emissions. This is because most emissions are from the wealthy such as the big corporations. In addition, many companies have their factories overseas whose emissions get counted in the other country rather than the home country.
But if you are going to accept the economic boost when inviting foreign companies to set up on your soil you have to deal with the environmental cost as well
To what extent are China’s emissions the result of producing the products we consume here in the West?
Well china allowed trade from the west? What do you expect
I mean china is capitalist, they just allowed bussiness to come
@@moneyearningsph7435 your name says it all 🤡🤡
Exactly, China has less than half of the US's carbon emission rate per capita and it has been polluting for far less than the US and Britain.
I'm not defending China Here but this always needs to be put into perspective as the "global south" is the most effected by climate change even though it's either been recently developing and thereby emitting carbon dioxide into the atmosphere or isn't developing at the first place.
@@god-bv5wo I thought plants need carbon dioxide?
Countries are too scared to lose the "powerhouse" status to do anything drastically about carbon emissions. It's ego getting in the way of progress.
Don’t forget about money, we put money above all else
And fear
Not ego per se; but overall greed (in demands of an improved lifestyle) mixed with a complete disconnect. Can an average human tangibly tell how much he's emitting, what causes those emissions? What's being wasted? Where the waste goes to? No body seems to have an ecological intuition with how complicated everything has become. The only solution seems to be regulation of free markets and personal freedoms(something that we're used to cherishing the most).
It's not ego or greed. Countries are afraid that others will take advantage of their weakness and destroy or harm them
@@SA2004YG in the end, they are the architect of their own destruction
Love the graph BBC... shame you didn't want to use the CO2 per capita graph instead. Save this energy for doing a feature on america or worse OURSELVES!
UK carbon emissions per capita aren't actually that bad, at least not in comparison to most of the rest of the developed world. I agree though, it's not fair to judge China and India's emissions as a whole when their populations are so much larger than ours.
There's no use of showing per capita graphs when you're talking about the entire country themselves and their total impact on the environment
@@Nadie47 There is use though, because countries with high per capita are able to significantly cut down without endangering their citizens. Developing countries with lower per capita cannot do this.
Emissions per capita literally equal citizens quality of life, especially in developing nations. Emissions are everything from food, jobs and leisure. To reduce these in countries where these things are already far lower in amount or quality than developing nations is an impossible ask.
These numbers are just an example, but say the US has 10 emission per capita and india has 1 emission per capita, you could cut the US emissions by half while they still maintain a vastly higher quality of life than individual indians even before they cut their emissions. How do you cut 1 emission per capita down? What does that mean for mortality and quality of life in these countries? Does that mean Indians now no longer have access to electricity? No more public transport or cars? No factories or production so now a huge portion of the country can no longer provide food for themselves or their families?
You can't tell governments to make policy that will kill their citizens or starve them, while your country gets to keep all of it's rewards from industrializing before climate change was a concern. Regardless of what would be most impactful in countering climate change, it's just completely non feasible.
@@Nadie47 microscopic views are essential to curb the emission. The reason of emission also day lots of things.
We have literally already PASSED the point of no return and china’s like “aaahhhhhhhh how about net zero in say…..40 years? Thanks”

When you look at total carbon emitted, not just yearly emissions, then India and China fall right down the list completely dwarfed by western countries. While current emissions are what we need to tackle, the severity of climate change now is as a result of the total amount of CO2 in the air. And America and Western Europe are responsible for the vast majority of that. If we hadn’t been emitting at the rate we have for the last 100 years then china’s emissions wouldn’t be a problem. It’s like a flat share where no one has washed any dishes or done any cleaning for months and then a new person joins and on their first day leaves a single dirty coffee mug on top of the pile in the sink. Everyone agrees that the need to clean the place up but the old flatmates insist that the new guy who’s produced one dirty cup has to do an the same amount of cleaning as everyone else or they won’t do any at all.
And even if you have current emissions broken down by population they are still far behind. You can understand India wandering why it’s citizens who produce 1.9 tons of CO2 every year are being asked to take as much action as US citizens who produce 15.5 tons every year.
We do all need to reduce our emissions, but it must be down to the countries that got rich from filling the air with carbon and who still produce more per citizen to take the most action and use some of the money they made while creating the problem to help pay for still developing countries like India to reduce their emissions.
No to mention China has a huge population. And its factories produce vast amounts of goods for us all over the world. Of course they're going to have most pollution.
Finally someone said this! The western media is still spewing propaganda that Westerners are doing the right thing!
@Ellial
Well said. Nothing was mentioned on the other culprits from years back which lead upto the situation we are facing today.
Partly agree, mostly disagree.
Just to use USA as a metric. In 1960 their CO2 emissions was nearly 2900000 kilotones, 16 metric tons per capital. Since then it reached a peak in 2005 of 5756080 kilotones.
China was very low indeed, in the 60s less than 500000 kilotones and 0.63 metric ton per capita.
However, in the last decade, china as been poluting nearly double of the maximum polition USA ever did, so in essence, china has poluted in 10 years nearly more than USA in 20 years.
And dont compare western europe with USA...simply check UK, never been above 660000 kilotones ever.
www.macrotrends.net/countries/USA/united-states/carbon-co2-emissions
You can check this information for yourself.
Making a comparison via population vs polution is simply stupid. How much of the 1.5 billion in china actually contribute towards this polution? 1/3 of the population live in rural areas...
This is the part i disagree. China and India need to tackle just as much as any country, their polution per year is far more than any other country ever produced, specially China. Another 10 years of continuous levels as they have now or even increase, means any efforts from USA or Western Europe will be pointless.
But i agree in part with you. Developed countries have contributed far more over the previous century.
But if you go on this trend, then what you are saying is that an emerging economy in Africa could say "well, i dont care, in the last century i never contributed to this mess, so now we have a century to polute, then we think about climate change".
Unfortunatly it just doesnt work like that.
China itself is the country with the most economical power to change things around to tackle polution, and if they are smart they could get in the lead of this change and put themselves even more at lead economicaly in the world than they are now.
We need china to change just as anyone else. The past is the past, we cant re-write history. If china had the economical power in the 60s that they have now, with the very little knowledge of the ers about climate implications, by now their co2 emitions would have been 3 or 4 times even bigger
@@ruigouveia7494 the only way china is drastically going to drop its emissions is if people in the west stopped having almost everything made there. Dont blame them for the result of you having luxuries.

That's because overpopulation is also a form of pollution. You don't divide one huge pollution number by another and say it's someone else's problem.. If India had 2 trillion people, 1,000 times more than today, the world would be destroyed, but by your calculation, the US would still be the problem instead of India because you used divided the air pollution output by the overpopulation pollution and still found India was low per capita.

The most damaging carbon emissions have taken place since 1990. If global civilization as a whole stuck to 1970 levels of carbon emissions we'd have a lot more time to act. Fact is British and French historical emissions are virtually negligible to what the three most polluting powers are doing now. However not to say they get a free pass; China and India wouldn't be so polluting if the West hadn't elected for those countries to produce cheap goods for them.

China emits twice as much CO2 but has a population 4 times as big. This means the USA releases twice as much CO2 per capita, which is how we should look at CO2 emissions. Here are the leading countries (countries with more than 10m people) for CO" emissions per capita (tons):
1. Canada - 18.6
2. Australia - 17.1
3. Saudi Arabia - 15.9
4. USA - 15.5
5. Kazakhstan - 13.0

correct - we need to stop importing fast and produce at home and opt for lower consumption but of course this will never happen so we are doomed...enjoy the days you have left ...and pray for your children
Rich countries export a lot of their co2 emissions to developing countries too, as many of the goods they use are imported from developing countries, the co2 emissions incurred in the production of those goods are counted in the developing country, even though the end-user doesn't even live there.
Everyone talks sh*t until hell is outside
There is a concern on the chart prepared to reflect the greenhouse emissions. If you look at the per capita highest emitter the primary defaulters are the developed countries. If that’s been checked Saudi Arabia ranks the worst in it. BBC has to remember UK is a defaulter too it stands just under China in per capita emissions. So we need to reflect ourselves before doing the blame games.

We see what we want to see.
European: We care for environment. Let switch to Electric cars which runs on battery.
Indians & Chinese: Please put the factories on our country as we need job and we are poor coz you have looted us for hundreds of years.
European: Okay, you poor people. You make the factory.
Indians & Chinese: But how will we power the factories to make cars for our masters? Okay, lets burn coal.
European: Oh no too much CO2 emission blame it on poor Asian countries. We are already using electric cars. We are not responsible. Also we have given birth to a great environmentalist "Greta Thunberg".
If we haven't learned anything else it's that everything has its expiration date - nothing lasts forever! The earth, along with everything within it, has been working its way to extinction since its beginnings. Think about it! At the outset, extinction of various animal species, dinosaurs and plant life etc., was not caused by humans - can we say "MOTHER NATURE"? Humans upset the apple cart when we learned we could adapt our surroundings to fit our needs and live comfortably in otherwise hostile environments. It was then that we outpaced earth's balanced ability to cleanse itself of harmful gases and other pollutants that plague our planet - mainly caused by the advent of the industrial revolution. The question is, can this trend be reversible? I would venture to say yes! But only if we tackle it as a species. And, considering that we can't seem to coexist with our own neighbors, uniting the world as one seems a highly doubtful outcome. But we can't, and shouldn't, give up. We can start by changing our focus from finding ways to destroy one another to extending our survival, even if for only a little more time.
easy to say China is the worst in CO2 emissions when all European polluting factories and industries just got delocalised there for the past 30 years
And they actually are not, if you check emission per capita, most European countries pollute more then China.
Easy to compare 60 millions person to 1000 millions and blame the 1000 for emitting more...
You talk like China actually makes an effort to cut emissions.
@@tiloalo the problem doesnt care about per capita.. its still producing the most.. there is no other way to cut it.

@@jcoludar although I see your point and I am no prophet, there are differences today compared to previous natural disasters. One difference is that the size of the population is so big that the repercussions of the crisis (famine, diseases, droughts etc) can lead to conflicts and wars and with the weapons we possess nowadays this can lead to large scale disaster. Another difference is that we have pushed the natural resources to repletion and many animal species to extinction. I could go on probably.

To those confused, I just want to point out that blaming the public for their consumption is a standard _oil and gas industry_ talking point, a tactic to divert blame, divide and conquer. OIL AND GAS AND OTHER LARGE COMPANIES ARE BY FAR THE MAIN CULPRITS IN EMISSIONS. While it's true people can bike, try to consume reasonably, etc, it is not possible to completely eliminate emissions this way and never will be. Huge contributions to emissions come from _power_ use, _production_ of materials (including food), and _transportation_ of materials, and often people - especially those with less disposable income - are given no choice in what products are available to them. Not to mention that not having power in certain situations can kill you - e.g. no heating in severe cold.
The ONLY way to curb emissions enough is to stop using fossil-fuels-based energy systems.
Economy as a growth metric should be reviewed. It will led to extinction of humans.

The carbon emissions in developing countries are a necessity whereas in developed countries they are a luxury. The developed countries have the spending capacity to invest heavily in rnd and create better technologies for the whole world.
Nah not totally
This is one thing I think people should realize. As much I hate the way China handles things and is communist I think they deserve their industrialization just like we got. India too, yes the planet is goin under but we stop so they can progress and that’s how it should be. Countries of Africa and east Asia rely on gas and oil because it cheap and readily available and as much damage as it does they are just now developing fully while we’ve been developed for quite a while. Right now they basically yelling at India and China to stop from their castle tops power by solar and wind but these countries can’t afford nor build these things as they still don’t have clean water. This is where I say we won’t all be net zero until like 2080 and by then it’ll be too late. The only solution is that we were to donate all our money to progressing these poor counties and help them become a strong and self sustaining net zero country. Sounds great right we’ll tile never happen our own rich countries have poor people and sadly to be honest there can’t be goods and services without people to do cheap grunt work if America was entirely rich and well of it wouldn’t have janitors and that’s because for circulation to flow it needs high and low and this correlates to economies that why America being as rich as it is has a healthy economy because there are poor and rich and both must co exist. If rich countries helped the poor ones wouldn’t be as rich and have buying power and at a global scale it doesn’t work well. Ever wonder why they source cheap work out to third world countries because they will do it. Sadly this makes it flow and countries will keep it that way. The way it used to be was everything was made custom right in front of you and paid a lot of money but industrialization happened and as America grew and developed Americans eventually wanted more money than the companies were will to pay so they moved to Europe and then moved to east Asia basically someone gotta do and eventually if these poor countries get wealthy enough they will soon make these companies just charge more and then people will want more money but then eventually everything gets hit by it so even a hat cost too much and you want higher pay but this just makes even worse because your boss just charges costumers more but then they want higher pay from their employer and basically it never ends and that’s kinda of how inflation works but at a slower rate. If China stopped American products from being made the U.S would go into a recession for two reasons wants and needs. We want cheap stuff but now it’s expensive so we need more money but then our employer charges people even more to meet your demands and others do the same and now it’s happened. Ever heard of the Great Depression, yeah that would happen and it’s because we spend money differently now and if so,etching drastic like that happened America wouldn’t adjust in time and would fail. This will happen other countries too. You may have heard in history that the reason the British Waited so long to declare India independent wasn’t for the people India and their economic protection but because Britain relied so much in the economy of India that if they separated Britain would fall and this is true. Britain did everything they could to make themselves able release India in Britain’s best interest. This is the same with most wealthy countries need poor and rich countries to balance out an economy kinda like a yin and yang. Well this is my thorough explanation for why we’re doomed and well it’s because I’m logical and the world isn’t. I think even if we did everything we told ourselves to like go green we’d still mess up somewhere we just haven’t gotten there yet and this is why I’m not having kids.

Well, the we-still-have-time approach did not work for the past 50 years so there was never much hope for it. We're definitely going to wait for the climate refugee crisis before any radical change is made. We're the first species of animal that thinks and cooperates globally and plans much for the future. It's perhaps too much to expect humans to rise to this challenge before suffering high losses.
@@AbstractJJJ im talking about people that think things are hopeless, that its too late. That attitude is a self-fulfilling prophecy.
Well, it's important that the contingency plans start taking shape. Many researchers have redirected their efforts to adapting to the worst changes and reversing the process with carbon capture. The modest emission reduction plans are not worthless, but we have to acknowledge that some inevitable consequences are coming. There will be no good excuses for not being prepared.
I worry that our persistent need for "hope" is the very thing that has prevented us from taking action for the last 50 years, and wonder if maybe if we stop telling ourselves that everything will just work out and someone will invent some magic technology, maybe people would actually take action.
Personally I think taking an approach to problem solving that acknowledges the reality of the problem is the most important thing. At this point, we should be bracing ourselves, there's little point spending all our effort on bringing down carbon emissions when the global heating is already assured. We should be preparing for what life will be like in a post 3 degree or 4 degree of warming world. Structuring our societies and lives accordingly. Having difficult conversations about what we are willing to lose and what is most important for us to preserve. We have all grown up in a world of excessive abundance, but within the lifetime of a person born today, we will have to shift towards a life of scarcity. How can we possibly prepare for that reality if no one is even willing to talk about it for fear of being called a "gloomer" or whatever.

Acts 3:19-21
[19]Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord;
[20]And he shall send Jesus Christ, which before was preached unto you:
[21]Whom the heaven must receive until the times of restitution of all things, which God hath spoken by the mouth of all his holy prophets since the world began.
Psalms 37:4
[4]Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.
1 John 1:9
[9]If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
Jesus Christ is that revolution that God the Father will send inside all men who repent and have faith in his only begotten son Jesus Christ.

[26]And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
They won't fix anything. They will blame each other and refuse to reduce waste because the other country are not doing it first
Misleading information. According to 2019 CO2 emissions and populations: UK 5.3T / CITIZEN, USA 4.4T / CITIZEN, RUSSIA 3.2T / CITIZEN, IRAN 2.5T / CITIZEN, JAPAN 2.4T / CITIZEN, GERMANY 2.3T / CITIZEN, CHINA 2T / CITIZEN, INDIA 0.5T / CITIZEN !!!
Wtf. India is not even that high per capita. The bbc is misreporting.
Still a big influence. 2nd most populous country and projected to be one of the world powers of the world.
China has less than half of the US's carbon emission rate per capita and it has been polluting for far less than the US and Britain.
I'm not defending China Here but this always needs to be put into perspective as the "global south" is the most effected by climate change even though it's either been recently developing and thereby emitting carbon dioxide into the atmosphere or isn't developing at the first place.
Now imagine how many on their industrial way to be as developed as these countries.
Agree! China has experienced the fastest growth rate in the human history!
Unless doctors and nurses are vaccinated about 50% and teachers about 40%, no other need to be before them.That is what is really about, Said the great Master ZHing Jin Jang tsao.🖤

If you put emissions by population US is far ahead of China
"Imagine a global carbon tax..." That was John Lennon, right?
It wouldn't surprise me, given how things turned out for him...
I feel bleak about getting a world-wide change now or even in the future. In america we send our coal to India, among other places.
Look at the figures, the US is about 1/4th the population of India but the carbon emissions are double that of India's. By what goddamn logic does that even remotely make sense. India needs coal for developing. The US has been burning coal since the past century and more. India started close to the 50s.
Hello Katie, how are you doing?
This is depressing knowing full well nobody is gonna do jack shit... Just gonna keep marching to our demise
oh they gonna do a lot to f**k it up even further
The moment these billionaires and politicians are affected in a way their money and power can't protect them is the moment we'll actually see any substantial changes.
You need to speak about legacy emissions from countries like the UK, USA etc. A big part of the current crisis is also from these historical emissions. One way for them to do their bit is to drastically reduce their emissions and provide finance to developing countries to do the same.
Yes but what if they don’t? Someone just has to do better first, and everyone has to change.
Why is it that everyone thinks that the rich countries owe the poor ones anything.
You guys don't get it; these arguments are pointless because we are screwed. We have already done irreversible damage and yet people like you still think your discussions matter.
@@TheTeaParty320 for starts do a history lesson for the last few hundred years, or atleast from the time of industrial revolution and automobiles and then come back here to comment.
Western countries tend to feel easy when they change most of their energy into renewable. Then, they criticize other countries. But this rather should be criticized. Some still say that most of the western countries including Japan have succeeded in decoupling GDP growth from carbon emission. But in fact, they just transferred factories to global south. What actually happened was re-coupling, not absolute decoupling nor relative decoupling. It is obvious that western countries tackle climate change. What they actually should do is to provide clean energy for the global south, and to do that, they have to reduce carbon emission faster than ever.
When the world leaders meet this November to discuss climate change there won't be enough police officers in the country to handle the number of protesters in attendance. They'll need to be airlifted in and out. While I agree with mass protests I hope it all stays civil. WE NEED REAL SOLUTIONS NOW!
[My grandkids are depending on it.]
Yeah because flying private jets around the world really helps the situation, hypocrites.
Grandkids is a push. Great-grandkids is almost certainly not happening.
Don't be silly, this whole climate narrative is another tool to control the people, stripping away our last remaining rights.
Air will be taxed, while the elite laugh to the banks.
@@Farmynator I wish you were right
@@Iamtilersscreeminganger that’s a straw man argument which rings empty. You want them to sail to meet while coal plants churn out emissions? Its the principle of the agreement that matters and will apply equally
You should have linked the report in the description.
“Fight against climate change” lol seems we’re not even clear on what we’re fighting against here
Ourselves? Our stupid govs?
