There was no net zero commitment from the US, yet it has reduced it's per capita emissions to 1960s levels. https://datacommons.org/tools/timeline#place=country%2FUSA&s...

There is enough public pressure to make even more changes, and the CO2 intensity will keep going down regardless if it's Bush, Obama, Trump or Biden in office.

Some of that reduction in per capita emissions came from outsourcing low-end manufacturing to foreign countries. Our per capita numbers don't look as good once you net out the impact of imports and exports.

And it's still number one per capita.

There's a long way to go and no laurels to rest on.
