China is still catching up to US levels.Since America uses so much more electricity than other countries you are still the worst coal electricity users.
You already know Americans produce more CO2 from coal powered electricity than Chinese people.
Chinese coal plants produced 3,573 MT of CO2 in 2017
American coal plants produced 1,056 MT of CO2 in 2017
Per person America (less than 1/4 China's population) produces more CO2 from coal plants than China does...much more...OOPS.
Then on top of that America is the biggest user of natural gas. And America too, is the far biggest oil user.
It's no wonder your CO2 emissions are so much more than every one elses.
You really just need to be more like the rest of the world and use less electricity.
Cut back to the 1st world average and shut off all your coal in one go.
Don't worry, you will still be entitled to more electricity than Chinese and Indian people.
Windy, Windy, Windy. Making up the same tired old shit again. Carbon taxes work by making CO2 more expensive for people.
Per landmass? You put that in as a joke didn't you? Completely absurd.
Per GDP? Equally foolish. Countries don't even measure GDP the same way, and it has little relevance to CO2 emissions. Unless you think burning a $3 litre of oil emits less CO2 than a $1 litre of oil.
Residential is more than 20% Where did you get this number? Your ass again? All those businesses make things for people to buy. So a simple carbon tax would force them to clean up their act.
I can see you don't have a science/math/logic background. Pretending something is true and then figuring out it's not consistent with reality is a common way to prove things are false.
Did you really not know Africa isn't a country? Africa isn't going to overtake you. What 'African government' is set up to tackle this?
Logically there can be only 2 posibilities, profound ignorance or trolling. Anyone who could make the kinds of 'arguments' you are making, either knows they are easily refuted nonsense, or is just parroting what someone else told them to say. You don't seem completely stupid, so #2.
I feel truly privileged you responded, since my lowly post didn't ever get above 1...
Because if you are on a boat that is taking on water, you want to find the biggest holes and plug them first. Hint Americans are amongst the biggest holes, China is only a bit above average.
Even if you think lines on a map are somehow important for calculating who to blame, why are you patting youself on the back?
I get it, you hate China, they are filthy dirty scum and probably stole your coal job. But why are you so smug when by your own stupid measure you are SECOND WORSE IN THE WHOLE WORLD?
You've been 'fixing the problem' for 25 years, but you're still double China and more than double Europe.
You are unlikely to ever get down to even the world average.
Last week, in an interview with Fox News, Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Scott Pruitt claimed: "We are leading the nation — excuse me — the world with respect to our CO2 footprint in reductions."
The Washington Post fact-checked this claim and rated it "Three Pinocchios," which means they rate the claim mostly false. They further wrote that Pruitt's usage of data appeared to be a "deliberate effort to mislead the public."
Here's a picture if your own links words aren't enough for you to see it.
Fuck off Windy. You have never shown a single lie.
You are still just claiming random idiots (maybe it's you all along) are me and are lying.
Show at least a little honour if you are going to have that sig...

And who do you think is going to calculate how much CO2 is in every single good or service? Completely unworkable right from the start.
And you don't even want exports taxed? Layer upon layer of idiocy. Any dirty country will just keep on polluting even more exporting to the world.

Tax fuel and electricity same as every other place that does it.
They don't need 'baseload' they just need to be spread out and have storage.
Except per person America uses more coal powered electricity than China. So you will just end up taxing yourselves for being the dirtiest.
So what is America's excuse for using more coal powered electricity per person than China?
Only reason China uses more is because it has more people.
Did you really just say you think the USA has the 2nd worst government in the world?
+1 groupthink doesn't make you smarter if the group are all idiots.

No even then they will find a scapegoat. The PR hit would be too bad for them if they don't.
You're no fun, I pointed out your lies and idiocy and then you just stopped playing.
Slight exaggeration, not a lie ;)
