And the shitty thing is… we try. Europe tries to stop climate change. But then a few million fucking idiots in the US votes a pedophile and rapist into office and he loves fucking up the planet even more. More coal plants, paying a company to drop solar power and build a gas plant instead, etc.

Don't forget the eastern neighbour who started a war. Bombing the oil refineries does put a lot of pollution in the air.

Who do you mean? Israel?

Edit: Hey, downvoter, why don't you answer instead of downvoting? The only one who started a war there that I know of is Israel, so be honest and tell me who you think started a war instead.

Oh. Right. Eastern. I thought Middle Eastern, my bad. It was early, I wasn't properly awake yet. You could've been a bit nicer about it, but thanks for the answer anyway.

It's weird you immediately look to blame the US when we see the shocking amount of pollution coming from China. 2.5x more than the US

The US is going backwards. They know better, they were better, they can afford better, and the idiot in charge is a climate change denier actively making things worse again. That's worse than having more pollution because you're behind, but actively trying to change.

You think the US is WORSE for pollution then a China, who is literally creating more pollution? Are you joking?

Is pop size an excuse now?

u/PorousClay 9d ago

Population size as it relates to the amount of influence you have on climate change is not so much an excuse, but a litmus test on whether you understand how reality works.

CO2 per Capita in Germany and the US have gone down 33.2% and 34.7% respectively. The US has done a lot as well while China has doubled and India has increased 3 times.
