19. Which why it's important that the USA LEADS the rest of the world by forging international agreements, with teeth

The shithead who is now in the charge of such matters is doing the exact opposite of 'leading the world' when it comes to this subject. And the statistic of 'per capita' is the most important one in this regard. The USA is worse than China when it comes to climate changing air pollution, period, when you look at per capita. Esp. if you add in how much methane is being spewed into the worlds atmosphere due to lax regulations concerning leaks in the production and distribution infrastructure.

China also isn't cranking out over 10,000,000+ barrels of the climate destroying compound known as PETROLEUM, and many million metric tons of 'natural' gas, every single day, like the USA is, which is then distributed worldwide, but do NOT count against our country's 'CO2 numbers' because its not burned here. China I do think they produce (and certainly burn a shit-ton of) coal there, but I don't think they're major exporters of it.

Look I'm no fan of the Chinese government by any stretch, but they ARE taking climate change and air quality a fuck of a lot more seriously than the Mango Mussolini regime, and they produce significantly less greenhouse gas, per person, AND they aren't major exporters of the shit like the US is
