from the self-post dept.

Now that china is producing more greenhouse gasses than every other developed country combined, what can we do? If we can’t stop them from ramping things up, should we consider geoengineering?

The usa and europe are doing amazing. They are down to 1920’s or 1940’s levels depending on how you count it. And they didn’t just out source it.
