No. No no no. Climate change will not be stopped by people making individual decisions to turn off their AC or not fly for a vacation. It will only be stopped by changing the RULES under which the economy operates.https://www.motherjones.com/kevin-drum/2019/02/do-you-believe-in-climate-change-really/ …
America can't stop climate change, unless we do geoengineering. Asia can. This is an Asian problem that needs an Asian solution.

The US is still responsible for a significant and outsized proportion of global emissions, and maintains power (albeit diminished) for setting international rules and trends. Climate change needs to be addressed globally, both by the US and Asia. But you know all this.

I'm very sick of that argument. It hasn't changed in 20 years.

Actually it has. Notice the oddly specific start year for that claim, check the actual graph and its obviously a cherry-picked stat. There's an upward trend which is clear from the larger dataset.

no worries then, Asian have much less moderation when it comes to authoritarian solutions. I still think Europe and the States emit a lot per capita though :)

So, we're going to wait for a developing country whose emissions kicked up barely a decade ago to do the necessary R&D and lead the way ?

I'm not against China taking leadership in fighting the biggest issue if our century, though. It's pretty clear that we can't expect the US to act like a responsible country.
