I am dedicated to the long-term research of Emissions and other factors of the anthropogenic part of Climate change. So, I understood that any activities connected with reducing emissions (and not only emissions) from which we leave out China are low-efficiency actions. The same is valid for actions from which China itself will be left out. However, we should not forget about the second (just for a while) most populous country on this planet — India.

Why?

A little cognitive exercise for bright eyes

Note: most of the data (energy) that you will read here comes directly from the national statistical offices or data aggregators, except for the population data that comes until 2021 from the National Bureau of Statistics of China and 2022 from the UN World Population Prospects 2022 (Medium variant). Unfortunately, the disastrous situation with India’s “open” data has meant I only use UN population data.

A few interpretations for your thoughts

China and India account for 35% of global electricity production (2021).
