Lol. So you are basically saying that we are somehow entitled to have higher emissions per capita, while others should do with less? India and China populations are each more than 4 times that of US. EU is almost twice. So, with that, look at your graph again.
P.S. That's not to say that the increasing total emissions from many of the developing countries are not a problem.
Were you not able to see the post I quoted and I was replying to?....didn't read it?

If CO2 causes global warming, and global warming is as dangerous as they hype it..no country would be allowed to increase putting more poisonous gas in the atmosphere...and yes, they claim people will die from global warming..and it's caused by CO2...that makes CO2 a poisonous gas
But that is exactly what the UN/IPCC has put into place....they declared the vast majority of countries as "developing".... that includes China, Russia, India...Kuwait??...over 200 countries get to increase their CO2 emissions
The UN/IPCC doesn't even believe their own science.....the vast minority of countries have to decrease...the vast majority can increase
Even if were possible for the US to drop CO2 emissions to zero...it would make no difference now...China alone, with the UN/IPCC blessings, have tripled their emissions...China's emissions are now twice the USA
...if the US dropped to zero...global emission targets would still be way too high
China is building over 200 new coal plants....more than enough to power the entire USA...they have no intentions of lowering their emissions.......
30 coal plants closed in the US in 2017....China is building 200
Climate change is starting to kill people and it's only going to get worse. That's an undeniable fact.
It is negligence, bordering on criminal negligence, for a president to deny solidly accepted science when it results in fatalities.
The Republicans have built this ridiculous false choice that we have to choose between a good environment or a good economy. That's a false choice. You can have both. In fact, the solar and wind industry has been great for jobs and the economy.

Don't know about global warming...but CO2 levels are definitely going to increase
..and there's not one thing the USA can do about it
" In fact, the solar and wind industry has been great for jobs and the economy."
..does that include the $billions we're out of from backing failed companies...Solandra comes to mind, but there were dozens of them

We've got a problem Houston...
Global temperatures have been going down...with a few little normal up spikes
...we're just in a little up spike right now
The other thing that climate change deniers are ignoring is that the previous spikes in temperature during the past millions of years have been correlated to major carbon releases. What caused the carbon releases to spike during the periods is uncertain -- could have been big fires, volcanoes, asteroid collisions, or other large scale events. However, this current carbon spike has been directly correlated to man-made activities.
WASHINGTON — The Trump White House, which has defined itself by a willingness to dismiss scientific findings and propose its own facts, on Friday issued a scientific report that directly contradicts its own climate-change policies. That sets the stage for a remarkable split-screen political reality in coming years. The administration is widely expected to discount or ignore the report’s detailed findings of the economic strain caused by climate change, even as it continues to cut environmental regulations, while opponents use it to mount legal attacks against the very administration that issued the report.

There is just no limit to the IDIOCY of this "BRAIN-DEAD ANTI-INTELLIGENCE ̶P̶r̶e̶s̶i̶d̶e̶n̶t̶ !
We shouldn't be surprised when we are trying to be conned by a con president. He is a master manipulator and liar.
Your graph shows a 3.5 degree increase from 1920 to 1930...3.5 degree increase in only 10 years
Your 2000 to 2009....only 9 years....average...is the same as the average from 1925 to 1960..35 years......before global warming
It also shows from 1925 to 1970 a decrease in temp of 4.5 degrees...temps were decreasing when global warming had started
Also the increase from 1900 to 1930...is exactly the same as the increase from 1970 to 2003....are you saying the first one was normal..and the second one was global warming?
I for one would like to see our country prepare for the changes before us. Right now we can do no long-term planning.
The issue should not be a political one, changes are coming and those of us who will still be around will all face them together.
Neither you or anyone else knows what that means. and if the govt is involved it will involve politicization, theft, incompetence and loss of individual freedoms the likes that have not been since the unpatriotic act. These are all hallmarks of govt run schemes and one wonders why an entity that cant solve one problem without creating scads of others in the process should be trusted to run "the climate"

As it indicates, the most recent data point is from 95 years prior to 1950.
