US coal ‘biggest contributor by far’ to rise in global emissions

US coal is Largest contributor to THE RISE… But china coal is still ‘by far’ the largest overall contributor. They write titles kinda misleadingly dramatic.

It’s says rise in the headline. Idk what your comment is supposed to be except for ‘china bad’ whataboutism.

I was misled upon first reading and so I wrote this to help others by changing emphasis. Their pull quote strikes me as a misdirection.

I see what you are saying but I don’t think it’s a misdirect. I think it’s the nature of fast reading. And I’m right there with you.

Or how about this - what should the headline have been?

I think it’s pretty straightforward

US increased coal use. China did not. So change in global emissions is US’s fault, because global change is based on sum of changes. Headline is fine.
