All of the emissions reductions in the US aren’t going to do anything if China keeps emitting at pace. We should not be doing anything unilaterally.

- orthecreedence 4y agoAt least they're building fission plants. The US hasn't figured out that little hack yet, like it's some big mystery. Also, Chinese emissions wouldn't be so high if every other country hadn't offshored all their production to them.
- titzer 4y agoIt's a leaky ship. Arguing over who has to fix their holes first is pointless dithering and finger-pointing.
- squokko 4y agoYes, arguing about who fixes their holes "first" is pointless, but who fixes their holes "ever" is very important. It doesn't any sense for me to fix my holes if you have your finger in your ears saying "la la la I can't hear you" when I ask when you're going to fix yours.
- titzer 4y ago> It doesn't any sense for me to fix my holes It always makes sense to fix your holes. The ship is taking on water, yo. The sooner the better. Then you've got a whole hell of a lot better argument to make me fix mine. Instead I can just turn around and point right back at you and say the same damn thing about you, and we get nowhere. Which, incidentally, is exactly where we have been getting because of lazy excuses like this. Which is why I described it as "pointless dithering and finger-pointing."
