US Now the Global Leader in Reducing Greenhouse Emissions

[jc456]

The real story.

U.S. Leads in Greenhouse Gas Reductions, but Some States Are Falling Behind | Article | EESI

Most developed countries have agreed to significantly reduce their emissions, and many have already made noteworthy progress. Since 2000, over 20 countries, including Denmark, Ukraine, Hungary, Ireland and France, have reduced their greenhouse gas emissions. Of these countries, most have reduced their emissions by more than 10 percent. Denmark, for example, has reduced its CO2 emissions by more than 30 percent and the United States has reduced its by about 8 percent.



United States Efforts

Although the U.S. reduction seems low percentage-wise, it translates to a total annual reduction of about 760 million metric tons since 2005, almost as much as the reduction in the European Union as a whole (770 million metric tons). For comparison, the United States has emitted 6,000 – 7,300 million metric tons of CO2 equivalent each year between 1990 and 2014. Second place in absolute emissions decline in that period goes to the United Kingdom, with a reduction of 170 million metric tons, nearly a quarter of total U.S. reductions.

The United States accounts for only about five percent of global population, but is responsible for 30 percent of global energy use and 28 percent of carbon emissions.

I love this part of your link:

Climate change, which is causing sea levels to rise and making extreme weather more likely, represents a major threat. The best way to address climate change is to drastically reduce our greenhouse gas emissions – mainly methane and carbon dioxide.

The globe needs CO2. otherwise we wouldn't have oxygen. And we'd die.

Sea level rise where? name somewhere?

Nice tangents, but meaningless. The US has been the leader in tonnage reduced because we use(d) so much energy. It has been a multi-decades endeavor.

so you don't think we need CO2, sweet, you're clueless. it's really quite simple.

And still no where sea level rise.

Still making shit up to be contrary?

name somewhere sea levels rose greater than an inch.

Since Trumpleton's (and Trump) deny climate change is real, why do you think a decline in greenhouse gases is a good thing?

that's a flat out lie. climate changes all year round. you're confused. you're thinking about global warming. speak your thoughts, not your deceit.

And no, there is no global warming, there is global cooling, but that's a different language for you.

"The 2010s were the hottest decade ever measured on Earth, and 2019 was the second-hottest year ever measured, scientists at NASA and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration announced today.

Last year was 1.8 degrees Fahrenheit—or just under 1 degree Celsius—warmer than the 20th-century average, Gavin Schmidt, the chief climate scientist at NASA, said at a briefing announcing the news. Almost everywhere on the planet’s surface was warmer than average, though the Arctic was especially searing. “Every decade since the 1960s has been warmer than the decade previous,” he said."

all made up shit. fudged temperatures to push the ploy.

Yes! The temperature is exactly what Trump says it is - neither more nor less. I don't know why leftist pukes can't accept that.

Your family needs to be thrown into the ovens. With filters on the smoke stacks of course.

It's a global conspiracy!

It's a global conspiracy!

Looking back on a life of considerable length, have you ever heard a bleaker, more saddening tale than that one?

The Left owe President Trump bigly for his leadership.

“Under President Trump, the United States led the world in reducing carbon-dioxide emissions in 2019, but don’t expect Greta Thunberg to give him a hug any time soon. International Energy Agency data released earlier this month showing that U.S. emissions dropped by 2.9% last tear failed to make an impression with Democrats, environmentalists and climate activists, who either shrugged off the data or argued that Mr. Trump’s climate-denialism was somehow thwarted.”

Crickets from green groups as Trump makes U.S. ‘global leader in emissions reductions’

But the Left will not praise Trump because the Left don’t give a shit about the environment.

How is Orange Judas's effort to roll back fuel efficiency standards coming along?

The more I read this, the funnier it gets. Trump failed to bring back coal, and so far, has failed to roll back fuel efficiency standards. Are you sure we're supposed to praise him for his "leadership"? No offense, but that's idiotic.

Yeah, I'd have to go back to tales about war, concentration camps and missing WMD to find something on that level of mendacity, belligerent ignorance, and intellectual incapacity putting a blight on humankind.

DJT has been no help to any environmental issues, I am aware of, so no points awarded, if the air is any cleaner or less greenhouse gasses released. Luckily his picks for cabinet positions on effecting departments and his policies have had no effect what so ever on air pollution. Rejuvenating coal production or increasing it's domestic use has been a failure. His lower gasoline efficiency standards have mostly been rejected or ignored by the auto industries, preferring to keep consumers and state governments satisfied in order to protect market share. His failure to be able to lure back heavy industry, although increasing that mix in our economy is in fact needed for our long-term economic stability and strategic production needs, has been an upside to the clean air on this continent, no how many clean air and clean water regulations he has blithely rolled back. What effect his policy and management will have on the future is uncertain, but it will take longer than three years to be seen. Hopefully he will be gone before the effects on the environment can start to bee seen.

Thanks for validating you Leftards don’t give a damn about the environment.

And if emissions skyrocketed you’d be blaming Trump, shitforbrains.

If cause by effective deregulation? Damn straight. Republicans started on the forefront of the environmental movement at a time when it was not mainstream. We have come this far in cleaning our air, cleaning up many of our rivers and lakes, while maintaining our dominant economic position on this planet. Kind of like guns vs butter. You can have both. Never understood why the republicans lack such faith in the American experiment, that they would look to the past on these issues instead of leading us into the future. RealisticNot so much, anymore. If that gets me labeled shitforbrains on a right-wing message thread, so be, dumbfuck.
