    Straight-out question:

    If the trends continue, how many years/decades before the 2 levels are the same?

    Straight-out question:

    Was the total US CO2 output higher than the total EU CO2 output in 2017? Yes or no?

    Straight-out question:

    Per person Is the US level more than twice as high as the EU level?

    Some of them provide the money to line the politicians pockets, the rest provide the votes to get the politicians elected. Teamwork.

    Trends are for people like you and Windy to hide behind so you can pretend to be getting better without actually doing anything useful. looking at the level is also important, the trend is only a part of the story.

    Perfect example is all the Tesla fanbois who think Tesla is doing good because they only lost 15k per car instead of 16k.
    Look the trend is good. Is the situation good?

    Or people who think the deficit isn't a problem because the budget trended from minus 2 trillion to only minus 1.99 trillion this year.
    Trend means everything is ok right?You know it's not.

    You need to look at the level not just the trend, otherwise you aren't really understanding the situation. (On purpose? )

    Not if the AI adapts to that previous weakness.
    Or if it was just trolling you with a pretend weakness just for the lols.

  7. You make them based on all the facts,not just a few that happen to support your case. Fact is China is 4x bigger.
    Anyone with a handful of neurons would expect them to be bigger in total, but its a meaningless comparison.
    You could split them into 4 countries, each one still bigger than the USA, and all of them less than half the total CO2 as America. It wouldn't really solve anything though would it.
    If you don't care about population size, why aren't you complaining that America isn't emitting down at luxemburg levels? You'd be laughed at, and rightly so.

    Yes because the entire article is designed to make America feel good.
    It's not based on any sensible idea,like how clean or polluting different people are.
    It's so people can point fingers at someone else, blame them, and continue on their wasteful ways feeling good about themselves.
    Seems to have worked perfectly for you and people like you.

    If you cut your per person CO2 down to Chinese levels, your 15% would halve to 7.5% Saving the world 7.5% is a meaningful cut. More than quite a large number of entire countries. Those other tiny countries you use to justify your high levels could be removed completely without making very much difference at all.

    You really don't understand at all do you.
    Start with one cent add a other cent every year. Also start with a million dollars and take away one cent every year.
    How meaningful is the trend, an how long and at what level will they be in balance?
    Or you're just trolling as usual.

  14. Stock is sold to people who want to make money. Stock is also shorted by people who also want to make money.
    You don't get to pick and choose who buys your stock, that's the whole public part of going public.

  15. Better bookmark this Windy, because it's probably the only time I'm ever going to agree with you.
    The more Americans that go broke the better. The less money they have,the less consumption and waste the rest of the world will have to put up with.

    Plus we wont have to listen to people like you who think they are saving the world with their 1 Tesla share.

  16. What's the point of owning a single share? Do they give you a shareholder discount or something? Even if the price doubles you get what a few hundred bucks.

    I'm going to save the world with my Tesla share. Or are going to retire on it when they start paying dividends, LOL.

    You must be the stupidest person I've seen on here. You allegedly cut your levels, so any other American could choose to do the same. But they don't, they choose to be very highly polluting. People in the EU choose not to be like Americans, they care about the environment much more than Americans. And it shows in the data. US people consume and waste much more than comparable countries. All advanced countries do it more than developing countries, but America is by far the worst.

    The fact you've been trending down for decades and they have been trending up for decades. And yet you are still 2-4 times their level. Shows your meaningless trending bullshit is just that. A meaningless troll phrase to hide the fact you are still much much worse, despite all your efforts.

  25. Only small countries that are very polluting hide behind using 'total per country' as any sort of meaningful number. Which country are you cheerleading for again? The more those idiots are called out the better.
