You give your politicians too much credit. The idea was for businesses to offshore to make more money, fuck everything and everyone else as long as we make more money.
Have those standards been changing the last few years the US has been going backwards? I can see how it may bring the number down, and make comparisons with other countries difficult. But how does it change it year to year in comparison to itself?
So the most popular, in the worst conditions is still better than you 'claimed' earlier...
Why should we believe you now?
How fast are you expecting to drive in Chinese traffic? You'd probably be dead in less than 10 months, trying to drive a little electric car at 100kph in any of those cities traffic. Speed llimits are in the 100-120 range anyway so it's not much of a problem. If you're going to another city just take a train.
Mod it down, that's OK. But it still doesn't tell anyone where WindBourne's numbers came from?
No one else seems to be able to find the answer either...
He has quite the habit of making up numbers to go with his trolling. He thinks 5000 Telsa trucks will drop America's CO2 by 2-5% per year all by themselves.
Still waiting for you to show a single lie of mine. You keep claiming it, isn't that a kind of lie if you can't ever back it up?
Yes, all of India just 'choose' to live in high heat. And your sister who has acclimated to her small (by your own theory) temperature change still runs the AC anyway.
In India, where large parts of the country are hot all year round, people use an average of 70 kWh for cooling.
In the US, 90% of homes have an A/C, and per-capita cooling-energy use is 1,880 kWh
Don't let facts get in the way of your silly theory.
And you continue to deny the truth staring you plainly in the face.
Your own anecdotes match the story perfectly, those with more money use more air-conditioning. Hence produce more CO2.
Entitled pricks like yourself use more than everyone else, but if poor people start to use even a fraction of what you do, somehow it's their fault but not yours.
Put another way, the 328 million people living in the US consume more energy for cooling than the 4.4 billion people living in all of Africa, Latin America, the Middle East, and Asia (excluding China) combined, according to the IEA report.
You entire premise of it being related to the change of temperature over a year, doesn't even match your own examples that you tried to use as evidence.
And you still deny it's simply money, not need, that drives AC use.
Even your sister who is acclimated to 40+C and plays tennis in 47+C still runs the AC if it's 40C
Even though she matches your profile perfectly 10C to 40C year round. According to you she doesn't need it...
Or you could read the article and find it's correlated to wealth.
The African continent is home to some of the hottest places on Earth, but fewer than 5% of people in most African nations own an air conditioner, and energy used for cooling comes to just 35 kWh per person living in the continent, according to the IEA. In India, where large parts of the country are hot all year round, people use an average of 70 kWh for cooling.
Take Japan and Korea, for example, where people use 800 kWh on cooling each. Fully 91% of Japanese homes and 86% of Korean homes have an A/C. In the US, 90% of homes have an A/C, and per-capita cooling-energy use is 1,880 kWh, according to the IEA report. Of the 1.6 billion A/C units installed globally, 23% are in the US.
Africa 35 is less than India 70 less than Korea & Japan 800 less than America 1,880
It's as if people who have more money spend more of it on cooling. But we can't have them using as much as you already do can we. It's bad for the environment. Better to try and keep them poor and keep that AC for yourself.

The US uses 4x the electricity for cooling than the EU, and that's not even accounting for the smaller US population, that's just total.
Are you going to tell us 90% of the US has those 80C temperature swings you are claiming as the reason for all that use?

What on Earth are you talking about WindBourne? If it's 40C people will want to use air-conditioning to cool down a bit,if they can afford it, many can't. It makes absolutely no difference what the temperature was last winter. Why would you think it does?
how come you are not modded up fully? Seriously, you have hit the bullseye. Oil companies have pumped it out, but the vast majority of the CO2 is not from the pumping, but from the burning for cars, electricity, heat, etc. As such, they should chase car makers and utilities first before going after oil companies.
Yes Windy, using it by people.
Cars:- Ford's F150 is America's best selling vehicle.
In Europe it's all tiny cars at the top.
According to your link America is at almost 1/4 of the coal plants of china. Over the next couple of years,America will close another 50-100 plants.
Yes you are right, America has more coal plants and burns more coal for electricity than China per person. Despite claiming to be greener.
America only cancelled 100 MT worth of CO2 from 2010 to 2017
While China cancelled 1122 MT worth of CO2 in the same timeframe.
OTOH, China will open 700 new plants. In fact, in your link, China is constructing JUST IN CHINA, 355 new plants, and have another 435 on the way.
You must have reading problems if that's what you think the link said.
And you continue to lie about other nations?
You are just the little boy who cries wolf. No credibility at all WindBourne.
Face facts porky, china is the one blowing this. Hell, America is going to pretty much make paris accord agreements, while your nation will continue to sink the globe.
Face facts WindBourne, despite your claims of America being all green and sweet, per person you are over twice as bad as China. More coal per person, much much more natural gas per person, and much much much more oil per person.
China is not even half way up to your levels. China can't blow it, because you already blew it by being so far above the world average.
And yet America still produces twice as much CO2 per person. You are so far out in front no one will ever catch up.
Your 700 coal plants lies have been pointed out numerous times Windy.
Of course you want to put a tax on everything flowing across the boarder. What better way to tax everyone else and give a free kick to American companies. You would be the first to cry though if another country attempted to stick a 10% tariff on US goods.
If you are worried about resources running out, or environmental damage you could target it much better.
What would be the most beneficial to the environment? Remove 100 million Americans, Europeans, Chinese, Indians or Africans?
Slashdot Mirror
You gave a 4 year old reddit link that says America is #19 for scientific papers per population. Or even further behind in GDP / paper at #31
You give your politicians too much credit. The idea was for businesses to offshore to make more money, fuck everything and everyone else as long as we make more money.

OK
They don't. Average range of electric vehicles in China is 103 miles Or 3 times his trolling number.
So the most popular, in the worst conditions is still better than you 'claimed' earlier...

Until the pipes leak and all the trash leaches into the water.

So you can't show where you 'found' that number. Instead you link a google search. Whose first result for me proves you wrong
So where did you get your number? Or did you just make it up like all your other numbers?
AC, at least in America, will be 22-27C.
And which hole did you pull that 'fact' from WindBourne?

In Europe it's all tiny cars at the top.

Good to see you finally realising it's not oil companies making you use oil, it's just entitled people doing what comes naturally.
So much nonsense in the one post it's clear you are just trolling.
Try being at least a little bit credible if you expect a response.
