    Maybe it's more of a phrasing issue, but saying "we’re now one of the world leaders in making it worse" makes it sound like a recent development. I'm saying that yes, we are bad... yes, we are one of the worst emitters... no, we aren't doing enough. However, relative to population, the USA is actually moving in the right direction while China and several other developing countries are not. Looking at our emission numbers, it appears we've peaked in MtCO2 emissions and are slowly working the number down. That's gross numbers. if you look at it per capita, we've actually improved quite a bit.

    That said, we still need to do more.
