FWIW: US CO2 Emissions To Drop In 2019

Faux environmentalists can ride this horse for decades:

• climate changes are so subtle, "they" can say whatever they want; impossible to prove fake;
• global warming / climate change / extreme weather has simply become a religious cult; it is not science; was never science;
• atmospheric CO2 will continue to rise slowly for decades, maybe eventually plateau off but it will be long after most of those reading this will be long gone;
• George Carlin had it right

US emissions, from EIA link above, 1.5 billion metric tons:

The slope of that bar graph "curve" tells me that the faux environmentalists can ride this horse for decades. Emissions in 1Q19 (most recent quarter where data is available): just short of 1.4 billion metric tons; five years ago, 1Q14, emissions were just slightly above 1.4 billion metric tons -- and that's after putting a lot of coal miners out of work, and decades of wind/solar development.

USA Today ranked the top 25 countries by CO2 emissions from fossil fuels:

• #1 - China: 9.8 billion metric tons
• #2 - US: 5.3 billion metric tons
• #6 - German: 0.8 billion metric tons

But look at this, change in CO2 emissions since 1992:

• China: 270% (no typo)
• US: 1.8% (essentially flat)
• German: - 17% (wow)

CO2 emission intensity (CO2 emissions / GDP per capita):

• US: 5.4 billion metric tons / $54K = 0.1
• China: 9.8 billion metric tons / $15K = 0.7
• Germany: 0.8 billion metric tons / $45K =  0.02

Germany, at 800 million metric tons is 5% of US and China combined.

China has an intensity of 35x that of Germany.
China has an intensity of 7x that of the US.
