or perhaps nuanced and realistic. The US needs to reduce coal burning too, if that makes you feel better. Whether it’s China, US, or any other country, the point is “X% renewable” is a meaningless statistic. The meaningful statistic is amount of CO2 we’re pumping into the atmosphere, which keeps growing.
As for US oil production, I don’t like it, but it’s a necessary short-term political evil. Unfortunately average Americans really care about gas prices, it is what it is. The alternative allows for a higher chance of Trump or whatever other republican president who would be even worse for the environment.
yeah you do, you dismiss the US/Biden increase in oil production as a necessary short-term evil, but dont do so for China. ie you hold other goverments to higher standards than your own
good now start reducing coal.
This type of comment reads really chauvinist, especially when you’re defending Biden for increasing oil production in the other thread

nuanced and realistic is when you hold other gvmts to higher standards than your own. Got it.
While I agree with the amount of CO2 being the meaningful statistic, I see China doing a lot more in that regard than the US.
When the US/West exported it’s treat production to China pointing the finger to the total CO2 output is just chauvinist
nowhere did I do that, nice straw man.
