I’m sure that if China can get these new salt reactors to work, they’ll be switching to them rather quickly and dropping coal. They’re already far ahead in wind energy and are exploring new options as well.
Russia I don’t see them changing anytime quickly, although they also said to be working on salt reactors.
The real solution to fixing this mess is with cleaning up ships. We need them to go hydrogen, and ban cruise ships. As well as ban space tourism before that gets out of hand, those rockets are not clean. But nobody is talking about this because this actually costs money instead of creating it.
Where’s the US?
the good ol’ “we can’t start cleaning up our own shit before China cleans up their shit” ? 😀
China & the US no?
Sad cringe. These stupid cartoons somehow neglect the most important fact which is that China and Russia’s emissions PER CAPITA are (and always have been!) much lower than those of the West. The conference in Glasgow is just another meaningless part of a theatre series of empty phrases and promises.
Yes, Russia and China are responsible too. But for the most part it’s our extreme individualism (e. g. American stupid car culture) that has led us to where we are now.
Edits: typos.
Russia is an elephant in the room?
Russia’s emissions are mostly due to the extraction of gas and oil. Guess who is using most of that gas and oil.
This is kind of stupid. It seems to portray that action against climate change is pointless because Russia and China aren’t cooperating. This is just wrong. Everyone and every country needs to work towards solving this issue. Waiting for China and Russia to do something will just delay necessary change. And once other countries have changed, it will be harder and harder for China and Russia not to also cooperate. But if we instead wait for them to make the first move, nothing will ever get done. And that really can’t be our goal, that we would rather destroy the world than make the first move.
Wtf is this stupid cartoon. Russia’s emission is 4.65%, China’s is 29.18% and US is 14.02% – the US should be in Russia’s place
This is so retarded. Straight up blatantly false propaganda lmao
I believe people are misinterpreting the cartoon. It’s a reference to how climate is being discussed while two major countries are not present at COP26, that’s the elephant. The elephant is not about who pollutes the most or has to contribute the most.
pride and prejudice
Cartoonish whataboutism isn’t really any better than general whataboutism.
Tbf I wouldn’t want my leader to leave the country when covid cases are at an all time high. Currently that should be Putins top priority.
Lol it cracks me up how the only one recognizeble is Boris.
Russia is not that big of a CO2 emitter is it ?
Rather should be two bears: Mishka and Winnie-the-Pooh
Not exactly accurate. They were two elephants that weren’t in that room…
yeah its china and russias fault, europe and na dont have to change their politics
Casual reminder to never trust these political cartoons, this one doesn’t even make any sense. Both China and Russia were present at the meeting and their emission problems were discussed.
China and Russia were there! They just phoned in rather than these pompous gits who jetted in on private planes choking up the skies with emissions. This meeting is just a load of hot air “we should do something about climate!!” The likes of Biden and Johnson give absolutely zero fucks about climate change. Empty words and meaningless gestures.

Just want to leave the statistics here about CO2 emissions PER CAPITA.
Russia is emitting way too much given that they only have a GDP of only 1.5 trillion USD.
And China has already overtaken most EU countries, still growing fast.
All of those idiots came there by plane and they go on bitching About russia and china and so on
China literally polutes like 5x the amount of Russia.
Yea rucha chana bad bad bad
Boris Johnson’s hair is too neat!
Third elephant is the USA
One of the few times I feel bad for Boris.
Russia has such a small economy, do they even produce notable emissions?
Typical China & Russia bad bullshit
