You do realize that the US is also down from its' peak of CO2/Capita production, whereas china is getting there per-captia. (13 US, ~9 China), and the trend doesn't seem to be stopping? Per capita becomes kind of a bad comparitor when the trend is towards parity, and the overall output isn't slowing. I've been around long enough to see that the climate change stuff really only ratchets up in the US when going into an election year, and if the correct candidate makes it in, it immediately stops, regardless of their actual climate change policy. (Sure, let's ignore the drilling that's going on under the current administration. Or the oil permits being given out. Or the lessenings of tarrifs on import goods leading to an increase of fantastic microplastics in your drinking water and additional CO2 emissions overseas). There really is no room to not be harsh on articles like this. The only thing articles like this are doing is proving the denlialists right.
