Interesting chart
We can see that emissions dropped during the Great Depression.
Poverty is the most effective way to reduce carbon emissions
That's your takeaway? Srsly? In 2023 only 1% had indoor plumbing and electricity. If anything the takeaway should be that it has NOT necessarily much to do with poverty/qol.
The chart takes a nosedive right around the time when US industry began moving to China.
No, read the source. Moving emissions to China, Mexico, Vietnam is not the reason.
I don't see anything about this in the source.
There is a section where they attempt to correct for emissions from production of goods imported/exported.
But this chart doesn't attempt to correct for that...
I always wonder about these stats... His were they measuring this in the 1910s vs today. Call me sceptical of the data.
Land-use not included. What?
I'd wonder if they magically eliminate co2 emissions that have been "negated" by paying a carbon tax
Its just the carbon scam.. they have to make you comply using some fake data in order to tax your ass..
That is pretty good progress I'd say.
Progress to where?
To tax your ass over a scam.. thats the only progress
The EPA actually cracks down and fines companies.
I believe their fines should be higher, because I remember the company I worked for just paying the fines and not fixing the problem.
The EPA is out of control. An agency drunk on power
I think they are on the right track.
They may seem heavy handed with fines, but they are in place so that the company takes action to fix the problems.
At my company, it was crooked as shit.
They didnt fix the problem and just paid the fines, or limited their emissions or didnt even report them.
Its harmful for the environment, and they are just being greedy. They had the money to fix these issues.
Heavy handed for sure
Lowering pollution but keeping the same output and profitability is definitely ideal.
But I just don't see fines will be equally fair. Some industries are more pollutant intensive and harder to reduce.
And the US wants to have some of the manufacturing back, these fines and regulations ain't gonna make it easy.
The world needs to pick between outsourcing their manufacturing or allowing local pollution
You know CO2 is not an air pollutant rigth?
You mean same way water isn’t a poison until you have too much of it?
Never understand what’s this take as if byproducts cannot be harmful
