compared to the rest of the world?

Yeah I'd 's/China/Humans/'. I'm referring to the fact that (mostly) everyone emits CO2 with cars, without caring about longer term impacts on global climate, sea rise, increase of hurricane frequency and intensity, etc.

I don't think that's accurate. Most? countries regulate CO2. European countries do, for example.

According to this graph, car seems to be dominant in europe too. [2014] Of course Europe is doing better and I'd like to see more trains in Canada and the US.

who else is shooting silver iodide into the sky?

Well the United States did from 1962-1983.[0]

Unfortunately humans learn best from negative consequences, rather than from historical observation. Most bad things have already been tried before.

Doesn't sound like there were any major negative consequences - just that it was ineffective at stopping hurricanes and cyclones.

I think it's a developmental stage. Do it and then stop it. See those (ex-)factories near major US cities?

China has stopped of pollution already, after ruining the manufacturing base in richer countries.
