Western nations reducing will DO nothing - it is too small a fraction of greenhouse emissions. The large fraction is coming form india and china. And they do not have electric everything. they don't even have running water in most places.

Your view is outdated. China is building renewable power generation at an extremely high rate, and also exporting cheap solar panels worldwide. China has a higher share of electric vehicles in cities than most of Europe and America does. It appears their emissions are now starting to go down as a result, although the economy keeps growing.

India still has a long way to go, but China is doing the right things. Same can't be said about USA under current administration.

The reason half the population won't take climate alarmists seriously are statements like this.

Saying the West, generally, or the US, specifically "aren't doing anything" is ridiculous.

That chart conveniently ends at the end of the Biden Administration.

That doesn’t fit my understanding at all.
