EU vs US

The US and the EU have been reducing their CO2 emissions and since 2000 the reductions have been 1.3 billion tons for each. Meanwhile during the same time period China has increased its CO2 emissions by 7.4 billion tons. These reductions have been mismanaged by the EU and their economies are suffering while in the US the economy is moving ahead. The EU failed to understand that in order for wind and solar to be effective requires adequate sunlight and wind both of which are in short supply in Europe. Add to that the closing of nuclear power plants and cutting off the supply of natural gas from Russia and you have the makings of a problem.
