Emissions 2020 2

 (cont'd from yesterday's post)

Is the U.S. effective in what it's doing to reduce carbon emissions? 

Yes. According to that United Nations report graph in yesterday's post, carbon emissions per person in America are declining every year. So the total of national emissions stays roughly steady in spite of population growth every year. 

Is that true of every nation? No. Per capita emissions in India, China, Russia continue to grow, along with their national totals.

The point of this post and of the article it's from is not to point fingers at those nations, but to set minds at rest. Many people worried that America would become reckless after leaving the Paris Accords. That didn't happen.

On the contrary. According to the U.N. report, the U.S. need not re-join the Paris Accords agreement: "instead, the U.S. should just keep doing what it is doing to cut its own emissions." We're doing well without the Paris Accords.
