Surely America is the problem despite massive investment into decarbonizing [1] and dropping emissions to 30 year lows[2]. It can't possibly be any other countries building record number of coal-fueled power plants [3] [4] or moronic """green""" parties shutting down zero emission nuclear generators to open more fossil fuel power plants [5] [6]. If your analysis of any issue will just boil down to 'America bad' you are a thoroughly unserious person.
