Post Carbon Fellow David Fridley was quoted in this article about China's rising CO2 emissions.
From the article:
If China's CO2 levels do meet U.S. levels in the coming years, the country may find its status as the leader of developed countries jeopardized in future climate negotiations. Because it doesn't make much sense for a country that will have higher emissions levels than the U.K. by the end of next year to be put in the same category as India, which still only emits 1.5 tons of CO2 per capita (China already emits 4.96 tons, and the U.S. emits 19.34 tons).
Even if China does surpass the U.S. in emissions, it's possible that the country's CO2 output may stabilize around 2050 and eventually start to decline. As David Fridley, a staff scientist at Lawrence Berkeley National Lab recently explained to Fast Company, "You can only build so many roads and railroads, and households can only own so many TVs and refrigerators." But by 2050, the climate change damage may already be done.
