    Don’t forget China needs to stop using cement! We can use it though of course.

    And all those 3rd world countries aren’t allowed sidewalks!

                Ok I’ve had fun so I guess I’ll try to educate you.

                You’ve fallen for right wing talking points blaming China for climate change. Notice how they hone in a singular talking point while ignoring everything else? They don’t talk about carbon, they try to take a singular point coal.

                Here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_carbon_dioxide_emissions_per_capita

                Sort by emissions per capita and see where countries line up. US #16, China #25. India #125.

                That’s not to say that coal is fine. But when you hone in on that singular talking point and blame CHINA and oh yeah INDIA bad countries why are they so bad bad bad, then you’ve fallen for right wing Fox news screaming “CHINA’S COALL!”

                PS watch for them blaming cement use too, which of course developing countries will use more of.

                    Good thing you can ignore everything else polluting the Earth. JFC. And just coincidentally spout Fox’s line. JFC. And ignore the actual problem of fucking CARBON. JFC. “Teehee the US just has too many electrical luxuries teehee, I’ll just ignore the HIGHER CARBON teehee.” JFC.

                    I don’t believe you for a second. Any rational person would look at the actual issue of carbon.
