    If the person is talking on the corner I'd do the opposite and expect him to be distracted /not paying attention to the road and be more likely to just walk out into it, compared to a person looking at the traffic obviously aware of the situation.

    No, it's like putting a perfectly competent driver in a car when, for only lots of added expense, you could put in two like planes or driver training cars.
    It's the equivalent of complaining when something is 5x better that it's not 6x better.

    So show some numbers, what do they produce and what does the US produce. And what about all the other things that I mentioned before. You think people don't make any CO2, it's all industry? GDP isn't' all that relevant even if it was a decent measure of production (which it isn't).That's completely naive.
    American apologists often are though, no surprises there.

    If you wan't your trolls to be taken seriously as actual arguments try English. "5 times less" is just a bunch of words strung together with no meaning in this context.
    Work out what you mean, find the tiniest bit of evidence to support your absurdity, and try again.

    You expect a country with over a billion more people to produce the same CO2 as America. You aren't even remotely serious.

    Have you even thought about it even a tiny bit? A Chinese person should be 4 times as efficient as an American? Have a house 1/4 the size, drive 1/4 of a car, eat 1/4 of the food, use 1/4 the electricity, buy 1/4 of the junk (that one they can do already).

    China produces twice the CO2 as America because it's a 4x bigger country who is twice as efficient as you.

    Anyone who ignores the number of people really just means they want to allow the 1st world countries a free pass while stopping other countries from becoming exactly like them.

    Go by population, or do you just assume China will be 4x as efficient as America? Or are you just giving America a free pass because it's a smaller country?
    America's 15% of CO2 with only 4% of the population is much worse than China.

    Will the engine even start by remote? In the Audi's I've seen, even pushing the start button wont start the engine if you don't also put your foot on the brake. It just turns on the accessories.

    It's not like I said we should, but we definitely can.

  15. Perhaps some numbers will help.

    The Elections Project notes that there were 251,107,404 people who classify as members of the voting-age population, therefore 115,449,897 of the voting-age population (or 46.3 percent) did not vote.

    So 251 million voters, but only 63 million voted for Trump.

    Trump: 62,979,636 (46.1%)

    Looks like I way overestimated, you only need 25% of people to vote for you to win.

    Mod these facts down too if you like.
    Everyone knows it's not true if you can hide it, and your snowflake feelings won't get hurt.

    But, Dude, you spread FUD/lies and do not care about anybody except yourselves.

    Let's see who is spreading FUD/lies...

    China continues to add more coal plants and even with the worst measurement, china is 1/3 of the global CO2, even though they are less than 1/6 of the population.

    China is less than 1/3 and more than 1/6, but lets not let tiny errors get in the way of your main point.
    America is 1/7 of the global CO2, even though they are 1/22 of the population. IE much much worse.

    And you assholes keep building more coal electrical plants in your nation and around the world while growing your CO2 emissions faster than anybody.

    Where is Australia building coal plants? They do sell coal though, but most is high quality.

  17. You probably meant increase the volume of trees. Eventually you will run out of space, or the things trees need that aren't carbon.

  20. The trees are renewable, but that just means the carbon is 'escapable', and is released back into the air when you use them.

  21. 40% is easily enough if like most elections in the US only 60% of eligible people bother to vote.
    If his 40% approvers turn out and vote and the usual 40% who don't care stay home, he would win in a landslide.
