This guy makes a profound statement " there is no renewable energy it all comes from the ground. ". See video link below.
1/3 of the worlds population is in china and India. These 2 countries dominate the use of coal and keep opening new coal plants further increasing the use of coal.
There are producing countries and consuming countries. We are a consuming country. Then there are the poor countries. The consuming countries have a lower level of emissions. The producing countries are not worried about emissions as they are trying to build thier economies. Thus total pollution rises. There is only one atmosphere so what happens there happens here. We pat our selves on the back and say look how environmentaly conscious we are. In reality we are raping and pillaging
I have a saying "we export our pollution". We have seen the epa create regulations shuttering US plants only to see the producing countries buy up the shuttered equipment and move it overseas. Probably used in a more polluting fashion.
Unless we demand that goods are produced under cleaner environmental standards what we do in the US means nothing.
This is an interesting video about energy
