The only country actively ignoring this is the US, as the only (only!) country in the world not signed up to the Paris climate accords. However, that's not to say the citizens, industries and local governments are aligned with this insane stance
- adrianN 8y agoThe other countries are signed up for the Paris accords, but just don't do anything. Global CO2 production is still climbing.
- danielvf 8y agoFYI, the US has made the largest reduction in amount of CO2 emissions of any country in the world. Per capital CO2 usage in the US has gone down 19-20%, starting while W Bush was president.
- roryisok 8y agoI did not know that and I'm glad to hear it
- mempko 8y agoI'm sure the great recession had some impact on that reduction. I wonder if anyone did a study.
- danielvf 8y agoI'm pretty sure it had an initial effect. But the biggest reduction was the big shift from coal power plants to plentiful, cheap natural gas from shale wells.
