Not even close. We produce more CO2, but in all other respects we are much cleaner.
China's building coal-fired power plants at the rate of 1 every six days, and none have scrubbers. When was the last coal plant built in the US with no scrubbers?
China's environmental protection laws are a joke. The Chinese manufacturing sector is under none of the pressures that we are under. Why do you think it's so cheap to build things in China? Just the labor? No!
I could go on for days.
Excluding CO2, the US and Europe lead the world in pollution control.
