Is the US uniquely bad at tackling climate change?

3. "Is the US uniquely bad at tackling climate change?" - NOPE

Not at all. Asia has now put out more CO2 now than the US has, well, ever historically. They continue to build more coal plants and pour vastly more CO2 than the US ever will with no plans on stopping. Scientists have already said we're well past the tipping point in Antarctica to prevent that huge glacier on the western coast from going into the ocean. A common argument is that the US has the highest per capita emissions. Well, the earth doesn't care about that, it only cares about total emissions, and even if the US were to disappear, this still wouldn't stop. https://ourworldindata.org/contributed-most-global-co2

As the article says, the US is certainly in a tough spot politically to make the necessary changes, but to be uniquely bad is to dismiss the impact. Since there is nothing the US can do to stop other countries from dumping CO2, politics or not, why are we uniquely bad? The top "high performing countries" don't have a chance in God's green earth to do anything about global climate change, no matter how green they are. So they may be the best rated, but it doesn't amount to a damn thing but virtue signalling.

A downer I am, yes, because the immensity of the scale that needs change had nothing to do with the US anymore (or Europe for that matter) except as being some kind of intangible, moralistic "lead by example" reasoning. The BBB, while I really think we desperately need it for other reasons, won't help stop or slow global climate change at all :/
