Maybe it's not to the extent that people are saying, but the charts clearly show that the EU and the US do outsource their emissions.

- ch4s3 4y agoIn the same way that any imports involve extraterritorial emissions. The US manufacturers a lot of things and and does so with pretty good environmental standards compared to most other places.
- larsiusprime 4y agoYes, but not to a sufficient degree that is congruent with the point people are trying to make (ie, that the outsourced emissions swamp the decrease in domestic emissions). Net emissions from the developed world -- in aggregate and per capita -- are declining.
