I don’t care whether you agree with me or not. You are hardly an expert in any field associated with the topic. As I already stated, the US releases about 15% of the total CO2 each year. What we do doesn’t matter. US autos account for about 3% of the CO2 released each year. What we do doesn’t matter. There is no fixing the problem. Carbon removal is a long way, if ever, from becoming practical. With time, CO2 will be absorbed by the oceans. CO2 generation may very well continue to increase until the middle of the century, if not beyond. As I have repeated explained to you, CO2 does not accumulate in the upper atmosphere. It is well mixed below 12kms. I fail to understand why you keep saying something that is not true. You should also stop claiming that CO2 reflects or refracts heat. It doesn’t. CO2 absorbs and reemmits long wave radiation. Clearly, you are not a scientist. You should avoid making statements that have been proven incorrect by those who investigate such things.

The one exception is that it is important to note that OVER TIME the US has released MORE heat-trapping gas than China and India together. Therefore the US is responsible for the ACCUMULATED CO2 in the upper atmosphere and therefore bears a large responsibility for FIXING the problem. So, the US should be a global leader in dropping our CO2 and methane output by controlling the concrete industries and automobile exhaust CO2 emissions
