Pure projection. Maybe Joe "Six Packs" do post on airline pilot forums.

So why do less dense first world countries have a higher CO2 per capita Algore? Perhaps they don’t take the subway in Billings? I don’t think you know what projection means.

Higher consumption that comes with higher standards of living, but nice try Joe. Better luck next time.

Right it has nothing to do with the distance for goods to reach market or transmission of power. If only the hoover dam could have been built in downtown LA. And you accuse others of making crap up. Go sing the international elsewhere watermelon man.

LOL. I didn't say it has nothing to do with it, but if that is the overwhelming factor then why is the U.S. CO2 emissions/capita about the same as Canada and Australia when our country is ten times more 'dense'? Why does Japan emit about 6 times the CO2 that India does with roughly equal density?

It is amazing to watch entrenched cognitive dissonance of folks who have consumed the misinformation for so long. With all the information at our fingertips there is an amazing dearth of critical thinking these days.

So it would be reasonable to assume that if Europe had the population density of the USA their per capita CO2 emissions would be higher than they are now perhaps approaching the US. You are the one with blinders on. Of course standard of living makes a difference. Of course population density makes a difference. Of course you would be happier if everyone in the world lived a Somali lifestyle except those chosen to govern.

Not at all. To say you are confused would be an understatement.

Now I get it. You don't know how to read a simple chart, so let's try to simplify things further for you. What number is bigger? 1,248 (1990) or 912 (2015)?

Huh? That's not even a chart about emissions from electricity generation. I'm not surprised their total emissions across all industries went down, that's what happens when you export your environmentally unfriendly industry out of the country.

Then you shouldn’t have repeatedly claimed the exact opposite. Nice try though.

What school gave you an engineering degree?

Dude you posted the chart, this whole discussion has been about solar and wind not working.

Dude, look at the charts. It is working beautifully in Germany.

You erroneously claimed their carbon footprint would soon exceed their 1990 footprint. That is completely wrong. It has actually gone down 37% while power production has almost doubled in just the last fifteen years almost exclusively due to solar and wind.

Sorry, but you couldn't be any more wrong.
