A new study found adaptive traffic signals powered by big data reduced peak-hour travel times by 11% in China’s 100 most congested cities – saving 31.73 million tonnes of CO₂ annually.

Doesn’t China emit like half the amount of carbon per capita compared to the US?

@mineralfellow@lemmy.world · 3 months ago

China has a very large capita.

Yes, and they are by far the best in green energy

It’s a typical Chinophobe ‘at what cost’ commenter.
There is literally nothing they can do right.

One issue with that is China is still a heavily bike and moped driven country. The issue is when more of their population is able to afford cars. So they could still “catch up”.
