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.

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?

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?
