“How do you think that that affects your GHG emissions? ” Do the math and let me know. But hurry because we are transitioning to electric vehicles! France is a small country with 70 million people. It’s less industrial. Small GDP. US is 10x

Whenever someone posts from a site that I’ve never heard of before, I tend to believe they’re wrong. Have the large American homes and cars been responsible for the large drop in per capita emissions over the past 20 years? https:/&#

You are hand waving and just making up assertions without actually providing any data. “ It must be the big cars” “it’s the American diet” Please explain Canada and Australia being more than the United States You also aren’t accounting for

Looks like you’re just playing with numbers. The idea is to solve the problem From your chart, the average American uses less than the average Australian and Canadian, and about 20 other countries. Now explain why Americans use so much more

I assure you that won’t solve the problem. I’m not sure it will buy us any extra time. I can’t believe it’s 2024 and we’re still having this conversation. You have absolutely no idea what you’re talking about!!!

What does this mean in real terms? There are 8 billion people. Many people still live in poverty.

What’s the population density of Madrid and Barcelona compared to Los Angeles and San Francisco? i’ve been using this example for about a decade. of course, that route didn’t exist 20 years ago when I took Madrid to Seville. I can’t imagine

“The primary cause of that is the burning of coal, natural gas, and petroleum in order to generate electricity and move vehicles around” It was written almost 9 years ago and we’re almost in the same place. Peak fossil fuels are expected in

China is ready to transition to electric vehicles, Americans are not. We dragged our feet and said “no EVs, infrastructure isn’t ready, too expensive,…” Now we need protectionism to save our auto industry because in the end, we’ll take the

Taiwan isn’t an adversary. That’s the problem we are trying to solve: Too many important chips are made there.

I think you’re completely missing the point. This has nothing to do with moving the economic needle. Having 90% of the most important semiconductors in the world made on an island 90 miles from China, which China wants to take back, is a bi

I would hope that within 30 years (2055), we’ll have effective treatments. Of course, 25 years ago, I would have thought modern medicine would have advanced more by now It would be cheaper to cure the disease than treat the symptoms in all
