    You certainly can tuppence, the government and the Sage behavioural psychologists have been doing for 20 months, they never give you the figures of how many people have died and had serious adverse reactions to their vaccines though, strange that eh?

    Current CO2 emissions
    The simplest and most common way to compare the emissions of countries is to add up all the fossil fuels burned and cement produced in each nation and convert that into CO2. According to 2011 data compiled by the Netherlands Environmental Assessment Agency, the top 10 emitters by this measure are:

    1. China: 9697 million tonnes (MT) or 28.6%
    2. US: 5420 MT or 16.0%
    3. India: 1967 MT or 5.8%
    4. Russia: 1829 MT or 5.4%
    5. Japan: 1243 MT or 3.7%
    6. Germany: 810 MT 2.4%
    7. South Korea: 609 MT or 1.7%
    8. Canada: 555 MT or 1.6%
    9. Indonesia: 490 MT or 1.4%
    10. Saudi Arabia: 464 MT or 1.4%
    See more countries

    All greenhouse gas emissions
    The problem with focusing purely on CO2 from burning fossil fuels is that it ignores other greenhouse gases and non-fossil-fuel sources of CO2. When these are included, the figures change considerably, with countries such as Brazil and Indonesia shooting up the list due to emissions caused by deforestation. Reliable data isn't available, but as of 2005, the top 10 emitters as measured in total greenhouse gases looked like this:

    1. China: 7,216 MT or 16.4%
    2. US: 6,931 MT or 15.7%
    3. Brazil: 2,856 MT or 6.5%
    4. Indonesia: 2,046 MT or 4.6%
    5. Russia: 2,028 MT or 4.6%
    6. India: 1,870 MT or 4.2%
    7. Japan: 1,387 MT or 3.1%
    8. Germany: 1,005 MT or 2.3%
    9. Canada: 808 MT or 1.8%
    10. Mexico: 696 MT or 1.6%

    Emissions per capita
    Comparing nations can be misleading, given their vastly varied sizes and populations. To get a more meaningful picture, it's essential also to consider emissions on a per-person basis. From this perspective, the list is topped by small countries with energy-intensive industries such as Qatar and Bahrain, and the large developing nations such as India and China look significantly less polluting. Here's a selection of countries and their per-person CO2 emissions from fossil fuels and cement, as of 2010:

    Why don't these protesters go to China, and glue themselves to the roads over there?

    Why do the police and medics waste time dissolving the glue to move them, put a bollard behind them and open the road back up.

    Try doing fact checking based upon deaths per million of population and thats where reality kicks in mate. Belgium similar size population as Sweden has almost 1,000 deaths more per million of population and they had massive lockdown. UK has around 400 more deaths per million but France Italy all much worse

    But Belgium is much smaller than Sweden so the density is greater.

    The point being regarding England is we are overpopulated when compared to the likes of Sweden
    Which means more people crammed together = easier to transmit virus etc
    Also bear in mind that different countries have different methods and criteria for recording covid deaths

    What is the difference between left and right wing?



    Generally, the left-wing is characterized by an emphasis on "ideas such as freedom, equality, fraternity, rights, progress, reform and internationalism" while the right-wing is characterized by an emphasis on "notions such as authority, hierarchy, order, duty, tradition, reaction and nationalism"
