I seldom bother to refute anything you say because it is pointless and frequently depressing.
Ah, the excuses of the intellectually lazy. But then, that's why you're an ignorant leftist.

In reality, collectively, they have much lower CO2 emissions than the US but the emissions per person are indeed slightly higher than for individuals in the US. You write: "Canada and Australia have higher CO2 emissions so ner to you.". This ner doesn't work with China because the CO2 emission per individual is about half that of of individuals in the US, no matter, you follow with: "China has over a billion more people than the US .. and twice the CO2 emission tonnage than the US so ner to you again.".
You seem aware that the two ners are contradictory which leads to the third ner - nothing has anything to do with anything so ner to you yet again. Trump reduced the US CO2 output in 1963 so ner ...
Hey, just because you're a trolling little cunt, who projects your own petty little "ners" on others, doesn't mean anything of the sort was implied.
And if you weren't so intellectually lazy, you would be able to follow a very simple argument with no contradictions at all. Here, I'll spell it out for you, simpleton.
- You're the one who initially wanted to compare CO2 emissions per capita.
- I obliged by comparing the per capita emissions of Canada and Australia, which you're now hypocritically whining about.
- I did so to specifically point out the problem with comparing countries on a per capita basis, which you now hypocritically seem to agree with.
- Hence me going on to compare emission tonnage instead, which is a better reflection of a country's climate policies than per capita is of an individual citizen's pollution or national policies.
- The reduction in emissions, in tonnage, has more impact on the global climate than percentage of reduction.
If you weren't such a willful idiot, you'd understand such a simple line of reasoning. But instead, you seem to think you're on a playground with other children thumbing their noses at you. When in reality, you just can't follow an adult's argument.

I don't have a dog in the fight - there are limits to how much I care.
Then quit blathering, moron.
Either lying or foreshadowing upcoming US wars.
