The IEA released its 2019 global CO2 emission report
"The United States saw the largest decline in energy-related CO2 emissions in 2019 on a country basis – a fall of 140 Mt, or 2.9%, to 4.8 Gt. US emissions are now down almost 1 Gt from their peak in the year 2000, the largest absolute decline by any country over that period."
I wonder if we'll see retractions from all the usual climate morons who went apoplectic when the US pulled out of the Paris Climate Accord. If I cared enough it would be fun to search this board's archives for some of the insightful comments from said morons.

You realize why this happened, right? You are not crediting Trump, right?

Exhibit A
I made no reference to the cause of US emission reductions, nor did I attribute any such reductions to Trump.
Good news on US climate activity (insofar as one believes CO2 emissions actually matter, which is a whole different thread) is undoubtedly troubling to many.
It is "troubling" to no one. This is a weird thread.

Are you not aware that we are experiencing the end of democracy?
Stock Market up
Unemployment down
and now a reduction in greenhouse gases
I am not sure I can go on.
We are certainly experiencing those who believe they are above its norms.
You really believe that leaders who feel they have the right to intervene in federal prosecutions of their pals are consistent with those norms?

Even his slavishly devoted AG knows what he is doing is wrong and is trying to toss him a lifeline.
There will be another D prez one of these days.
These clowns better hope that person is a better man or woman than this slovenly jerkoff, and doesn’t use what he’s doing as precedent.

Between this and your new found concern about debt and deficits, you're becoming a conservative.

Exactly. We have Vladdy’s candidate as our prez.

We have the person the people chose out of desperation.
Vladdy would try to overturn the will of the people, sound familiar?
Some. I don’t entirely disagree with you but he and Vlad are boys, and he was Vlad’s
candidate.
Which Satan? Wouldn’t surprise me. She’s a terrible person as well.
If you recall, I said she should have been indicted before the nominating process.
We would be much better off as a nation.
I am pointing out the silliness of "supported by " as an argument/logical fallacy
(no message)
Not a fallacy when that supporter is one of our top adversaries on the world stage
and interefered in our election to help his boy’s chances.
And then his boy goes to a summit and says he believes the supporter over his own govt.
That’s just special.
Yes, we're clearly under Russian control.

Great response. You believe that Vlad wanting Orange to win, interfering in the election to help
make that happen and Orange’s disgraceful statement in Helsinki are good things for America?
Psst......all 3 happened, no fake news.
I am more concerned about some Americans not accepting the result of the election.
Don't care who Vlad wanted to win, no one should, my original point.
It's our job to prevent interference in our elections, we've sanctioned Russia.
Trump is an idiot and says stupid things all the time, yet he was still elected in 2016 and may win again in 2020. Blame the people if you want, but it's a symptom, IMO.
We ALL should be concerned when a foreign govt, especially a hostile one gets involved.
Read the Federalist Papers if you think it is a groundless fear.
I don’t know what you mean by accept. He won, but had illegal help. It doesn’t vitiate the result. It causes concern though about how he would govern. A rightful concern in my view.
Satan supported Hillary.
