That would be China. Conveniantly not shown in the cartoon having more coal plants than the rest of the planet combined.

"China’s carbon intensity – its fossil-fuel emissions per unit of GDP – fell by 4.7% in 2025 and by 12% during 2020-25. Solar power output increased by 43% year-on-year, wind by 14% and nuclear 8%, helping push down coal generation by 1.9%." www.carbonbrief.org/analysis-chinas-co2-emissions-have-now-been-flat-or-falling-for-21-months/

China is the largest coal user, yes. It’s also building more solar and wind than the rest of the world combined, has lower per-capita emissions than the US, and didn’t dump two centuries of accumulated carbon into the atmosphere. Historical responsibility still sits with the West.
