> I mean despite constant economic growth, something which fundamentally depends on increased energy consumption, the US has decreased emissions per capita by 30% since 1970 And the US population has grown from 203 million in 1970 to 331 million in 2020[0] - an increase of over 60%. I can have fun with statistics too! How do you look at these facts and what you see in them is "The billionaires are destroying our planet and don't care?" Actions taken by same. How do you not see 30% less emissions on 60% more energy usage as a big win for the environment that should be celebrated? How do you not see scientific evidence such as NASA provides? Air temperatures on Earth have been rising since the Industrial Revolution. While natural variability plays some part, the preponderance of evidence indicates that human activities—particularly emissions of heat-trapping greenhouse gases—are mostly responsible for making our planet warmer.[1] 0 - https://www.census.gov/data/tables/time-series/dec/popchange-data-text.html https://www.census.gov/data/tables/time-series/dec/popchange... 1 - https://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/world-of-change/global-temperatures https://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/world-of-change/global-tem...
