Interestingly you're looking at the wrong column: emissions per million USD GDP have gone from 467 metric tons to 206 metric tons. That's an improvement of about 56%. It'd be great if the politicians here in the EU could pull their heads out of their arses long enough to try and match that.
- cinntaile 2mo agoWhat are the equivalent numbers in the EU? Be sure to compare the same numbers. Usually they're in MtCO2e and not in MtCO2 like in that PDF.

- croes 2mo agoDoes this number include the outsourcing of production to Asia and to ship the products to the US?
- tmtvl 2mo agoNo chance of that and I don't know where GP found that table but it most likely doesn't account for _any_ externalities.
- izacus 2mo agoEU is already 40% better than US, so why exactly are you implying it's worse?
- philipallstar 2mo ago> why exactly Hyacinth Bucket has entered the chat.
- derriz 2mo agoMatch in what way? The equivalent number for the EU is about 125 tons I believe.
- tmtvl 2mo agoMatch in 'percentage reduced since 1995'. Fortunately we're gonna get a bit of a chance to catch up considering the USA's current leadership.
