If U.S. totally eliminated CO2 production Asia would bring worldwide production back to current level in 2 years. Go to ourworldindata.com and see what a pimple United States is the worldwide production of CO2. Do we have a right as a developed nation to tell the undeveloped nations they have to stay in the dark ages which is the only way to lower CO2 production worldwide. We humans have gotten where we are because we are adaptable. I think our adaptability will serve us well in the future not windmills, solar panels, and electric cars. My data came from ourworldindata.com.

Might want to backtrack a bit and learn the difference between a continent and a country. Asia is not a country. And, the continent of North America isn't made up exclusively of the US.
Also might consider looking down that webpage to the CO2 emissions per capita - you'll see Americans emit almost as much CO2 as China does, not quite as much as Australians do, and less than Saudi Arabians. But all other countries emit less per capita than the US.
