Why destroy our economy to cut emissions — when China and India are spewing away?

President Joe Biden and “special climate envoy” John Kerry’s upcoming trip to the UN Climate Change Conference in Scotland will test what this administration cares about more: lecturing American suburbanites in front of world leaders — or actually confronting the globe’s most serious environmental problems.

Because if it’s the latter, Biden won’t be calling for greater efforts to cut emissions. After all, China and India have proven they have no intention of doing much on that front — and they’re clearly the most worrisome emitters. It makes zero sense for Western nations to continue to squeeze their own economies and pay trillions to dramatically cut emissions while China and India spew away with abandon.

Developed countries of the West have, for the most part, kept their carbon emissions stable, or even lowered them, going back to the 1970s — despite population growth. Back in that decade, the United States puffed out between 4 billion and 5 billion tons of CO2 annually from burning fossil fuels and cement production, making us the world’s biggest carbon generators. By the turn of the millennium, we climbed up past 6 billion. But in 2006, for the first time, China outpaced us, putting out 6.38 billion tons to our 6.05.
