US CO2 emissions are a problem

[Revolutionary Intentions]

My bad, I read the graph upside down bc I’m slow. US carbon emissions per capita are actually at pre-World War II levels.

I wouldn't want you to show the whole story.

you're slow alright. do any magas understand what "per capita" means? let's use 1940 as an example, since the per capita # (14.5) is similar to 2022 (14.9). the us population in 1940 was 132M. us population in 2022 was 333M, roughly 1.5X higher.

so if the per capita # is similar, and the population is 1.5X higher, that would make total CO2 emissions roughly... 1.5X higher in 2022 than 1940.

here's the real stunner for you... the planet doesn't give a fuck about the per capita #. the total # is all that matters.

other than that... good gotchya.

your kids and (maybe) grandkids thank you for voting for the party that enables this shit.
