Why can't science change a thing when it comes to national policies? Like immigration, energy policy, guns in society or police?

@stratosranger About twice the emissions at about 4.4 times the population. Normalize that per capita and the US is about twice as bad as China with emissions per person.

Source? @ViciDraco

@stratosranger Simple math doesn't require any agency or thinktank to arrive at. Google Population of China, then google Population of United States. Neither of those numbers should be controversial. Compare the population proportions to the CO2 produced from your chart, and there you have it.

In the chart you show, China is still trending upwards, which is bad. But they produce about half as much CO2 per person compared to the US as of the most recent 2018 date on your chart.

@ViciDraco Yes yes and China jumped feet first into the Paris climate accords. Not. All of your “green” tech is made in China for a reason. Because they have ZERO emissions control and that “green” tech creates a whole lotta polllution

@stratosranger source?

I tend to be pro nuclear anyways. Most green techs have low emissions, but produce other environmental impacts. One of the notable ones is rare earth mining for battery production. Nuclear makes for good fossil fuel replacement until green tech problems can be better solved. It's expensive up front, but newer reactor designs are safer and more efficient than the ones sitting around the country that are 50+ years old.

@ViciDraco you can google the toxic processes required to manufacture solar panels and lithium batteries for electric cars. There’s tons of information out there about how that green energy is a massive lie. And China’s lack of emissions control is a very well established fact
