While world leaders lecture the US about climate change, America is one of the only countries reducing CO2. My latest for @USATODAYhttps://www.usatoday.com/story/opinion/op-ed/2018/12/08/climate-change-trump-paris-accord-emissions/2206756002/ …
Climate change doesn't depend on per capita differences, it depends on totals and growth rates.

-
totals ultimately matter, but change happens in policy/lifestyle more reflected by percapita rate i think, but which is then scaled by populations these policies effect
-
if the goal is for china to match US totals they would have to half their percapita emission to less than 25% as costly as the avg US citizen, how is that fair
-
Earth's climate cares not one iota about "fairness". But as the Yellow Vests demonstrate working people care very much about their abilities to get things done and will fight to prevent governments from handicapping the tremendous capabilities that fossil fuels have provided us.
