US Now the Global Leader in Reducing Greenhouse Emissions

[Norman]

Trump decided not to pay for the scam artists and do something instead.

Perfect opposite of the far left.

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.

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?

We always have been ....We met our Kyoto goals without onerous regulation and I see no reason why things can't keep improving. LEDS on motion detectors are being installed all across the zone I cover. We don't need international agreements that seek our cash... environment be damned types

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.”

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

Made possible by Trump's failure to "bring back coal".

From your link: "U.S. emissions have continued an overall decline that began in 2005 as natural gas, spurred by the shale and fracking revolution, and renewable energy replace coal in electricity generation."

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.

The fact that brain dead partisans give their guy credit for all good things and no blame for any bad thing while doing the opposite for the other guy is no reason to continue the trend.

You cloaet Democrats sure can't decide whether or not Trump takes responsibility for stuff that happens under his watch.

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.

Not just measured in tonnage......measured as percentage of your total use also ....

Trumps AF1 flights are actually curing Gloval Warming. Must be the hair.

Meanwhile, Democrats look for new scaremongering avenues.

You cloaet Democrats sure can't decide whether or not Trump takes responsibility for stuff that happens under his watch.

Drilling permits were higher under Obama. When the production comes online, chowderheads claim Trump made the US energy-independent. What a surprise.

 

[ColonelAngus]

The global warming pearl clutchers know they are full of shit.

It’s a means to get money and power, a la Al Gore.

If it was a thing, real estate on the coast would be plummeting in value and the activists would be blasting China, not the US.

ITS A TOTAL FUCKING SCAM.

What is also missed is that the United States has no oil outside of the strategic reserves.
The oil pumped out of the ground belongs to the companies extracting it, not to the US.

Exactly what did Trump do to bring about this drop?

Specifics please.

Same way Bush did, by setting our own emissions goals and laws, and actually sticking to them. Unlike those big international “agreements” where most signatories fall way short and have no enforcement mechanism anyway, like the Paris Climate Agreement.
The Paris one especially was a joke because it didn’t even set specific goals, it was totally worthless. Yet the left lost their minds and said it was the end of the world when President Trump pulled out of it. Meanwhile what had China done in the meantime? They’ve increased emissions. But hey, they signed Paris so in the minds of leftwing idiots, they care more about the environment than President Trump.

BULLSHIT. Per c

Maybe not the "cleanest air in the world", but still pretty darned good compared to the rest of the world. Those countries that rank above us have very little industry, compared to the US.

So our air quality is better than the majority of countries...

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

And still no where sea level rise.

Please delineate the policies Trump has enacted that has lead to the decline.

The truth is, any decline is happening in spite of him not because of him.

 

[berg80]

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