Great, so the US is going to marginally cut their greenhouse gas emissions. Unfortunately, this is a global problem, and globally, we achieved record emissions this year.

The US isn’t the only country to cut emissions during that time; the EU has done something similar, putting itself on a path towards zero emissions.

China is also on the cusp of a switch from rising emissions to falling ones.

Get those big three economies on the right path, and the easy default choice for the rest of the world will be decarbonization too.

The US is one of the largest emitters though as third highest population globally, one of the most heavily developed, and one of the most dépendant on wasteful technologies like automobiles.

Marginal cuts to their emissions is worth more than a small nation going completely green. Both should happen mind you, but take wins wherever you can

Anti-science, inactivism, and unsupported conspiracy theories are not ok here.
