Both sides of the American debate overdo their arguments and talk endlessly about it which enables idiots like Trump to harm the environment and prevent useful projects to somewhat minimize the damage due to pollution and climate change. Americans have a history of dealing with industrial polluters and safety concerns a little late in the game on the principal of letting the profit seeking corporations use self control which many do not. Love Canal, Three Mile Island, one of the recent big power outages that hit US/Canada, flooding, etc etc are often under the watch of corporations seeking a short term buck. Canada occasionally has the same problems but you guys tend to have spectacular failures in this regard. Even when we allowed a Quebec town to be destroyed by an unsafely operated train, it was owned and operated by a US firm. The power outage that killed the grid was entirely due to a mediocre US firm, took the power out for us for days. So US problems often impact on us. Coincidentally, it's for similar reasons you have outrageous medical insurance bills. At least that issue hits home and compels Americans to know it's a man made, systematic problem that they will pay for every year until it gets addressed not endlessly debated.
I think I said this before... Man made global warming siphons off money and brain power which should be going to other proven environmental needs. Aquifers, oceans, and fusion energy are just some areas which could be using the brain power, the publicity and the money.
ESU Services in Switzerland made a study of thge impâct of animals on the environment. The conclusion is that the damage on a yearly basis for: 1 horse has the same effect as driving 21,543 km with a car 1 dog has the same effect as driving 3,677 km with a car 1 cat has the same effect as driving 1,413 km with a car 1 rabbit has the same effect as driving 691 km with a car 1 fish has the same effect as driving 14 km with a car http://esu-services.ch/projects/pets/
Is this ONLY our fault? It seems the assumption by most people pushing this agenda is that the US is solely in control of the entire universe's CO2 levels. I think we should see a breakdown of countries in that chart too. Does anyone have a chart of the correlation between CO2 taxes and C02 levels?
So at the moment China is producing double our output? Sounds like you need to be posting on Elitetrader-Asia. https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/cumulative-co-emissions?tab=chart&time=1751..2016
She's not spreading anything. In order for her to spread fear and division, people have to fall for it.
Exactly. Climate alarmists can come see me right after they hold China, Russia and India accountable.
Do you also say "Hey they are shitting in the streets so why shouldn't I shit in the streets too?" The US has put a huge amount of the CO2 into the air. We have a responsibility to lead. Other countries are aware of the problem but there must be agreement that all must act. But even if they don't, we must.
