40 years ago? That's a really cool story bro

I do see that and it is about time. I drive an electric car but it is kind of a buzz kill that when I plug it in at night it is recharged from a coal plant.

Yah, history is cool bro and knowing just a little bit about it might help you avoid making so many embarrassingly ill-informed posts. Bro, got those historical per capita emission totals yet?

Wow, really neat. What does it have to do with the price of tea in China? (no pun intended) lol at you thinking you got one over me.

He can barely read well constructed forum posts but we’re expecting him to look at and interpret data from the last 40 years? Good luck with that lol

Why should I read 40 years worth of data? What is the argument being made here? Lol, you guys are arguing with yourselves. You take a post and strawman the **** out of it never really addressing any of the points. Do you think Nuclear energy should not be a priority for the US?

you realize that when you get all emotional and ignore data you look like you dont have a clue of what you are talking about right? You understand that it debases your credibility?



this is full on partisan fear porn in action folks. completely consumed human that cant even have a normal conversation

lol, what is political in my post? Do you think Nuclear energy should be a priority for the US and what does fOrTy YeArS worth of data have to do with it?

It is hard to understand. China has a much higher percentage of substance farming populations, with little carbon footprint.

We will then use their low carbon per capita numbers to insinuate they are industry leaders on carbon mitigation per capita?

The US should invest in the Amish fertility rates to lower the carbon per capita data?

Is it? How else would you compare all sorts of metrics between countries with disparate populations and at different stages of development? Per capita is how apples to apples comparisons of income, standard of living, consumption, etc. are made. It is much like using percentages and if one can't understand such simple metrics then they can be easily misinformed as is all too often the case.

A simple example would be comparing Alaska pilot pay to AA pilot pay. Obviously, we would not use how much each airline pays in total pilot compensation, would we?
