no, we should actually put some teeth into this idea that this is a global problem and make everyone do their part.
the us is dramatically reducing its co2 footprint. the us currently is emitting per capita roughly what it emitted oer capita in 1910
if you didn't know this then its a pity your information sources are not telling you this.
- defrost 1mo agoHow about the US consumption footprint? Offshoring all the manufacturing and raw material processing elsewhere was convenient for claiming to create less CO2 discharge within the US - but is the US willing to forego all those shiny things that were created with offshore CO2 emission?
- dnautics 1mo agonope. trade corrected us co is down considerably too. biggest contributor is that there was a flippening the us biggest trading partners shifted back to canada and mexico from china, under trump 1 iirc, which are way less bad emitters than china, and moving goods from those two countries incurs less co2 footprint for obvious reasons.
- robocat 1mo agoThe pool is full of shit, and you are trying to argue that the US shitting into the pool like it first started back in 1910 is okay? Rich (developed) countries created the CO2. Marginal arguments that poor countries need to do their bit is insulting. Most poor countries have never been able to afford to burn much oil and if us rich countries want them to change behaviours, we should be paying them to help clean up our mess. Coal matters too. Methane is a temporary plaster over the main issue.
