Capitalism works every time.
Headline: “US CO2 Emissions Plummet Under Trump While The Rest Of The World Emits More”
First line of article: “U.S. greenhouse gas emissions fell 2.7 percent from 2016 levels, according to the EPA. ...”

Well? Which is it?
Real Greenhouse gas emissions, or CO2?
if you put CO2 right in the headline when you’re talking about greenhouse gas emissions, then you are intentionally misleading the science of green house gasses
bkmrk
Still doesn’t address the “caused by humans”.
Yes, sure. But CO2 wasn’t never really the point. The goal was actually redistribution of wealth, and on that account Trump fails to satisfy.
Cut pollution - toxic gasses, particulates.
I see from the story that the sanctimonious Germans and French are up 0.2 % and 0.1 % respectively. In fact, while the signatories of the Paris agreement are increasing emissions the notorious non-signatory is apparently the only major one in compliance, more precisely, quite a bit better than compliance. It isn’t even ironic, really, it’s just another piece of evidence that preening, self-congratulation, virtue signalling, and pious condemnation of others isn’t getting the job done, and that international conferences to which heads of state and negotiating teams travel in luxury jet aircraft are wasteful and useless.
Democrats will attribute the cleaner air to Obama’s policies, just like they do with the economy and foreign relations. Trump is only responsible for the hate and racism and riots, and all that’s went or is going bad, like the “badness” that overtook the Supreme Court with Trump’s two nominees. Let’s not forget “Horseface” Stormy, because without Trump winning the presidency, horseface would never have been heard from.
Hmmmmm....
