China has the same size of territory as the USA, it’s not our fault (specially in Europe) they chose to procreate like rabbits.
Leave us alone. We need to increase our energy production, not reduce it even further. The rest of the world can reduce it if they think it’s so important.
> specially in Europe
The EU has much lower CO2 per capita than China. Hence why we're talking about US polluters.
> they chose to procreate
How evil of them. But considering that that's the reality now, it'd be absurd to expect China to have lower total emissions than the USA.
> if they think it's so important
Are you implying that you don't find pollution and climate change important? Do you have no empathy for future generations, or are you in denial about its effects?
