EPA percentages of US Greenhouse Emissions 2016
Transportation is 28% of the total 5.31 Gigatons or 1.48 Gigatons
2016 Total world 36.18 Gigatons
China was at 10.15 gigatons
The US was at 5.31 GT
The rest of the world was at 19.17
In 2006 long before the world saving regulations of the Obama era the US emissions in total were 6.05 or a whopping .74 GT more. of which at 28% is .20GT or 2 GT over 10 years, or 20GT over 100 years The equivalent of 2 years of the current China output, or 1 year of the rest of the worlds current total GT output.
Meanwhile in those same 10 years, China has gone from 6.52 to 10.15GT an increase nearly equivalent to the amount that the US puts out on an annual basis minus the transportation portion.
Just as importantly, the US and other free market economies are making natural strides to more efficient energy markets and less dependence on dirty energies.
The fear mongering over Trump ecological policy reaches the same unfounded hysteria levels as the nuclear warmongering of NK in the first year of the Trump adminstration.
