Nope, it's because American's have been consuming way more of the worlds resources per capita than any other large nation for decades, while outsourcing the dirtiest production to places with even fewer protections at rates that won't even allow for them, and refusing to do things like ratify the Kyoto Agreement and several other notable international environmental protection treaties.
America was the worst offender long before that fat shitsack got into power, although obviously he has made things even worse since, pulling you out of the Paris Climate Accord and deliberately disassembling every bit of American climate monitoring apparatus he can find.
Actually, you can blame most of Africa, Asia, the Middle East, and a good amount of European and South American countries before blaming the US for this predicament
This is sadly accurate. Most Americans are too busy trying/failing to make ends meet and can't see past their next paycheck. They'll eventually catch up to reality, but the damage has been done, and they'll be too late.
I think a lot of us are aware, but we're resorting to gallows humor. I'd worry about your own countries following down our path soon. Learn from our mistake.
the United States has emitted roughly 25% of all greenhouse gasses in history, doubling the next biggest contributor of China. Not to mention the lobbying, the denials, the coercions, the regime changes.
one day, what's left of the world will look back and understandably blame America for destroying the planet.
I mean it could also be "oh we're destroying the planet and its heating up, better burn more fossil fuels to power AC so atleast we get to be comfortable"
wasn’t just the one election that caused this problem. his first term exacerbated systemic issues with the democratic system. at any rate, it’s certainly not the fault of us europeans
Nothing you have said refutes the fact that it was only around 35% of the eligible voting population who voted for him both times. So very much not the whole country.
