The United States led the world in tackling CO2 emissions last year while combining that singular success with solid economic growth, a new report reveals.
It has also been confirmed while the U.S. was hitting its climate goals, at the same time “80 percent of the increase in CO2 emissions came from Asia and that China and India both contributed significantly” to global increases.
“The United States saw the largest decline in energy-related CO2 emissions in 2019 on a country basis – a fall of 140 Mt, or 2.9%, to 4.8 Gt,” the International Energy Agency (IEA) reported Tuesday. “US emissions are now down almost 1 Gt from their peak in the year 2000, the largest absolute decline by any country over that period.”
“A 15% reduction in the use of coal for power generation underpinned the decline in overall US emissions in 2019,” the IEA continued.
“Coal-fired power plants faced even stronger competition from natural gas-fired generation, with benchmark gas prices an average of 45% lower than 2018 levels. As a result, gas increased its share in electricity generation to a record high of 37%. Overall electricity demand declined because demand for air-conditioning and heating was lower as a result of milder summer and winter weather.”
U.S. success in leading the world in tackling CO2 emissions was not lost on those who support its current efforts.
Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) responded on Twitter, “FACT you will NEVER see on the 6 o’clock news: U.S. emissions FELL 2.9%, or by 140 million tons, continuing the trend of the United States LEADING THE WORLD IN TOTAL EMISSIONS DECLINE since 2000.”

“In China, emissions rose but were tempered by slower economic growth and higher output from low-carbon sources of electricity,” the IEA reported. “Renewables continued to...

No. We made it worse. We sent as much of that high carbon dioxide, and other heavy pollution industry, to countries which don't care. India, China, Mexico, and others are busy tripling down where we left off. Well, were. Thankfully, other than shifting weather patterns, which is probably what is shifting the poles, it really doesn't matter... unless that causes a continental flip. It is thought, perhaps, the poles used to be lower continents. Then again, that would still be a temp model thing, which is solar, not anthropomorphic.
There are no unusual "shifting weather patterns", it's all BS based on NASA and NOAA altering the historical data to fit the narrative. Look at Tony Heller's YT videos, he's a real scientist who knows how to research and has caught them altering the data and reporting slices in such a way as to fit the globalist narrative. It's all a plot to scare people into allowing them to take control of that entire sector of the economy and determine who lives and who dies.
