Too little, too late. China and India are going to destroy the planet. It really doesn't matter what we do.

I'd welcome nuclear war. I hate people. I'd feel bad for the posters here who like living, but I shouldn't have to be exposed to disgusting displays of sexual courting while on my way to work.
It's obscene and unnecessary. Im thinking of buying a gun and practicing my constitutional rights.

I am frequently subjected to displays of affection while traveling to work (sometimes on my way home as well.)
It's unnecessary and obscene to do in public. Its a trigger for me, and causes fits of deep depression. I dont think it's out of line to ask people to refrain from public displays of affection. I don't fondle myself in public. It's disgusting. I do it in private. I ask people have the same respect. I'm not crazy enough to suggest this to people, but i would never do it. A hug goodbye, maybe. I accept that as acceptable behavior. Engaging in sexual acts, such as kissing or hand holding is obscene, though an unnecessary. It can be done in private.
Again, if I was fondling myself, people would likely call the police.
Maybe Not though, there was w homeless guy pissing on the sidewalk one morning and people hardly paid him any notice. I was the only one laughing hysterically. He had a very high arching stream. It was actually a little impressive

No.
We made many mistakes. Instead of learning, the rest of the world is going to make them all over again. We are having a hard enough time getting people in our country to stop killing the planet. I don't think we have a chance of stopping anyone else.
Earth is rufked because of The selfishness of humans.

You try so hard to be obnoxiously nationalistic but I'm sad to say you fail every time. Maybe one day you'll figure out how to do it right.

Is it nationalistic to point out other countries flaws?

As long as you recognize that America isn't the only country in the world that's made bad decisions, and you realize that the U.K. is a complete shithole, then no.

In this topic we are specifically talking about global warming, are we not? America is, by far, the worst country in the world when it comes to CO2 emissions and all that jazz. So I'd say my point is very valid.

The U.S. was polluting the environment long before we knew exactly how much we were fucking up the planet. Now that we know the costs of pollution, we try (sort of) to reduce the risks we pose to the environment. China doesn't really give a fuck at all. Their emission standards are a joke, and they don't even have the pretense of trying to protect the environment.
tl;dr America is #1

What's the rate of growth for that, though? The fact that China is in the single-digits in pollution is a shocking fact, considering how completely not modernized they were 10-15 years ago.

Almost 4 years have passed since then. Is there any more recent data?
Also, compare that to the growth rate of the U.S.

No, but looking at the trend I'd say it would be like 6.5 or something like that. Still a long way away from 17.5.
