China emits the most followed by the USA and then India followed by Russia and they account for a large proportion of the C02 that is trapped in the Earths atmosphere which without we only find some bacteria and AI surviving as we (humans ) would freeze to death quickly.
Its interesting that CH4 a much more potent gas than CO2 with a much higher CWC albeit its CWC diminishes quicker over time is rarely mentioned in the conversation.
it is estimated that CH4 contributed around 25 per cent to global warming if I can use that term in 2018.
of course water vapour is by far the most abundant greenhouse gas produced that rises into the ether as such.
Countries are taking action both at a local government , corporate and citizen level to reduce their carbon footprints.
I have significantly reduced mine in the past twenty years as have many of if not all of you.
Humans will adapt to changes in climate as they have over the time they have spent on this planet in various guises pre and post the industrial revolution.
Science tells us there have been times and many of them when the average temperature has been higher than it has been in recent years while human beings in there many guises inhabited the planet.
What we do with human starvation , population growth , food security , pandemics , extreme weather events , bushfires , pollution , destruction of plant and animal life , deforestation to name but a few in a carbon neutral world are age long issues that will be with us whether the average temperature is 2 or 4 degrees on average higher than it is now or not.
Some want to see quicker " action " whatever that action contains and means and who and what it impacts on positively and negatively and look to government for all the answers like they have in the pandemic and this ideology is flawed in some respects as history tell us.
Do your bit reduce your carbon footprint in any small way if you wish to but don't admonish those who you think are not it will not achieve the outcome you desire.
