I’m curious about if the manufacturing industry has decreased since 1990.

Or in other words, how much of this is due to positive change and how much is grandstanding about outsourced pollution.

This is what I am wondering everytime I read such numbers. Reaching any kind of emission goals isn't worth much, if we in return ship our trash somewhere else or buy more stuff from other countries that dont give a fuck.

Consumption based emissions have also fallen from 13t per capita in 1990 to 9t per capita in 2020.
