- GaryTang 5y agook now do China then compare the total output between them
- jointpdf 5y agoOk. - Map of all coal power plants: https://www.carbonbrief.org/mapped-worlds-coal-power-plants https://www.carbonbrief.org/mapped-worlds-coal-power-plants - Cumulative emissions by country: https://ourworldindata.org/contributed-most-global-co2 https://ourworldindata.org/contributed-most-global-co2 > the United States has emitted more CO2 than any other country to date: at around 400 billion tonnes since 1751, it is responsible for 25% of historical emissions > this is twice more than China – the world’s second largest national contributor This is not to downplay the serious and growing impact of China on global GHG emissions, just that casting coal as only a China problem is inaccurate and does not move us toward a solution.

- foxfluff 5y agoThe most carbon emitting plant is in Poland. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Be%C5%82chat%C3%B3w_Power_Station https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Be%C5%82chat%C3%B3w_Power_Stat... "The plant releases each year more carbon dioxide than the entire country of Switzerland."
