Citizens of the USA produce 270x the GHG emissions that citizens of Afghanistan produce.
It is the wealthy 'developed' imperialists who are mostly causing climate change.
It is not population per say but wealth distribution.

Libertarians prefer to deny the scientific consensus and deny that climate change is a problem.
Despite the facts such as recent years being the hottest ever recorded in modern history and demonstrable increase in severity of extreme weather events.
The reason Libertarians prefer to deny is two fold imo-
1- they are closely aligned with and influenced by vested interests like the Koch brothers and other environmental vandals in the oil industry who have long sought to sow disinformation/FUD and thereby stall any meaningful action on climate change.
2- they are horrified at the implications of accepting climate change is a real crisis as the obvious solution IF you accept the crisis is collective government led action. For Libertarians who believe 'the market' will fix all problems this is too much to swallow and so they continue to deny the science and present themselves as a fringe lunatic death cult.
100% correct and well said.
The primary beneficiaries of Trumps tariffs will be the US manufacturers who output they protect and the wealthy US citizens who benefit from his income tax reductions.
But US exports will not benefit as only domestic sales will enjoy the improvement in competitiveness that the tariffs generate. Tariffs will probably make US manufacturing even less competitive as it becomes more and more and more dependent upon the protected and distorted domestic market. In a addition export markets are also certain to take retaliatory action of some form which likely would disadvantage US exporters.
China has won the trade war and tariffs will not reverse that.
Trumps tariffs will only make the US more isolated and less competitive.
They will also push other nations into even closer economic relationships with China.
We might have different views on many things but I am impressed by how much effort you appear to commit to getting your government on track and honest.
Good government can only occur if enough people are prepared to get involved, take a stand and put some time and effort into the process.
It is mostly only a small minority of citizens that bother to get involved and if too few do then corruption will find little resistance.
If the video is true this is damning evidence of the corrupt shitcoin economy being enabled and profited from by Trump.
Massive abuse of power by Trump.
This is NOT good for Bitcoin.
we get the politicians we deserve more or less.
Everyone is corrupt to some degree.
Just that politicians are near the top of the hierarchy that humans organise themselves into in order to maximise their wealth and security and so politicians are much more highly exposed to people seeking favour- lobbyists in particular.
There is no point is giving up on politicians and politics are many Libertarians seem to do as politics is an unavoidable factor in human societies.
Much better to get involved and participate than stand on the sidelines complaining that all politicians are corrupt- they can only be corrupt to the extent that we the people allow them to be.
He seems credible and to believe in what he says.
The fact that he is taking on the bankers cartel means he is sure to face obstruction, FUD and dirty tricks.
You have done that.
It is exceptional.
What mystifies me is now my coinos account is still not working-appears blocked - it will not open on either laptop or phone - had to pay you via a friends coinos account and phone to whom I sent bitcoin L1.
The long arm of US power projection or just a coincidence?
So much for the censorship resistant P2P payment protocol?
Ok all good.
You sure got me!
Just I hope you understand many times people make claims they will not back up.
You have clearly shown me you were not in this case and I eat humble pie.
Ok Im doing my best I cant control what you choose to do- youve done you bit.
Truly bizarre that my coinos wallet will not open now.
Someone/thing is blocking me from logging in the coinos so take from that what you like.
Believe it or not and I dont expect you to my coinos is not working will not open.
have tried phone and laptop neither will open coinos.
The only way I can send 10k sats is direct to your LN address not via SN where it could only be CCs.
