If China does not cut greenhouse gas emissions under the Paris Climate Agreement, humanity will face disaster, predicted Paul Bledsoe, a strategic adviser at the American Institute for Progressive Policy.

The expert reminded that the United States and European countries have taken responsibilities to reduce the amount of emissions, which in the long term should lead to an overall reduction in the world. However, this could be hindered by an increase in harmful emissions in China.

Bledsoe pointed to a recent study by the Rhodium Group, which said that in 2019, China’s emissions exceeded those of all developed countries combined.
