I’m happy to say that in response to my criticism, the NYT has edited out the word ‘historic’ in order to make the passage even more misleading.pic.twitter.com/hqhfNIcuMr

I did a double take when reading this NYT piece that called the US “the world’s largest historic emitter of planet-warming pollution,” knowing China surpassed it 2 decades ago – then I noticed the word “historic” (cumulative). I wonder why NYT feels the need to mislead readers.pic.twitter.com/E317v5QX4Z

It's good to note the historic element since most of the emissions are still in the atmosphere. Not sure this qualifies as 'misleading' imo. Especially since one major argument for scaling carbon removal is to clean up legacy emissions.

10 vs 
5 gigatons per year with historic
220 vs 410 cumulative.
It would take 40 years for the cumulative number to flip.
But all this is about "climate justice" where the past sins should be paid off.

You are giving the CCP credit for killing tens of millions and impoverishing hundreds of millions for decades.

Part of the story is every major economy has essentially outsourced their carbon heavy industries to China.
-
So, because major economies have outsourced carbon-heavy industries to China, the NYT should publish misleading cumulative statistics? I'm not following the logic.

Because the damage function of climate change / acidity is based on cumulative emissions not year on year. It’s the most relevant metric!
-
No, the most relevant metric – in fact, the *only* relevant metric – when preventing future damage is what's happening now.
