Just because emissions aren't growing doesn't mean the US should do nothing, especially considering our outsized historical contributions that have lead to current CO2 levels. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_carbon_dioxide_emissions#/media/File:Co2_cumulative_emissions_1970-2013.svg https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_carbon_di... As one of the largest emitters per capita(more than double CO2e pp vs the EU), and at almost 15% of world emissions, there's a ton that can be done. A few items that are huge emission sources and could use some attention: * The reliance on single occupancy cars (94% of commuters) with poor gas mileage and long commutes * Heavy meat and dairy consumption leading to big agriculture emissions (especially methane from cattle) * Dominance of low quality, single family home construction that ignores local climate - poorly insulated 2x4 houses everywhere, average building is overly reliant on always on AC or furnace
