The historic climate announcement between the two biggest emitters deals a blow to the oft-stated rhetoric that the US must wait for China before bringing domestic climate legislation. And vice-versa: China has long used US inaction as an excuse, too.

6. ... and why do they get to keep increasing until 2030 and we have to keep decreasing

we shouldn't have to do more

7. Why? "we" have been putting out carbon longer than has China.

Or , is it because "we" are "exceptional"??

4. Now they'll say it's India

5. Now they say it will raise the price of energy for poor Americans.

So someone should ask them why dont we nationalize American oil and coal like other countries do?
