Reminder:
The big CO2 sources and increases have been China, India, Africa and South America for decades.
Media never mentions this, nor climate scientists either.

Well yes, that’s true if you for some reason are inclined to measure CO2 production by geography alone. Then remember that China has something like five or six times the population of the States and adjust for CO2 production per capita, and you’ll see that, on occasion, there might be good reasons you’ve never heard of something or the other in the media.
China is the world's leader in clean energy investment and production. It has also outspent Europe and the USA combined in moving its economy away from polluting energy. It still isn't enough by any stretch of the imagination, but their leadership is actually committed to transitioning away. Next time, think before you post.
Emissions are a direct consequence of industrialization and go hand in hand with a country's GDP. America and Europe's industrialization peaked ages ago while third world countries are still catching up and their economies are growing exponentially. The only way China/India/Africa etc. could avoid raising their emissions is by staying agrarian and poor which no country is going to do. The reality is that we in are death spiral towards collapse unless a radical change in the global order occurs.
