"China exports vast amounts of product into California" China exports vast amounts of products to the world. In exchange, the rest of us have out-sourced a lot of CO2. Around 22% of global CO2 emissions stem from the production of goods that are, ultimately, consumed in a different country. However, traditional inventories do not include emissions associated with imported goods. While the US and many European countries have reduced their domestic emissions over recent decades, some of this reduction has been offset by increasing imports from countries, such as China, that have a more carbon-intensive energy mix. Even though domestic emissions have fallen 27% in the UK between 1990 and 2014, once CO2 imports from trade are considered this drops to only an 11% reduction. Similarly, a 9% increase in domestic US emissions since 1990 turns out to be a 17% increase when trade is included.... China is the largest net exporter of CO2 by far, with the second largest – Russia – exporting only a fifth as much. Similarly, the US is the largest net CO2 importer, importing around twice as much as Japan. carbonbrief.org
