According to the World Bank, America produced 16.5 tons of CO2 per person in 2014. Germany produced 8.9 tons per person, Britain produced 6.5 tons, France produced 4.6 tons and Switzerland produced 4.3 tons.
Can we all agree that 16.5 tons per person is an absurdly large amount of CO2?

- snuxoll 8y agoDoesn’t help that so many in the US have no realistic choice for transportation beyond an automobile. I’m a 90 minute walk from the nearest bus station, I work from home luckily (and have no license either) but my wife has to drive literally everywhere. We bought a used 2006 Prius now almost four years ago, so we’ve reduced our emissions as much as is feasible for now - but we still use roughly 300 gallons of fuel a year at 40MPG average.
