Arizona’s extreme heat is killing honeybees and melting their homes

It's been outsourced to China because they make what the west demands.

A lot if it can be addressed by having western countries order more costly physical goods that last longer and are more repairable.

Per Capita the US remains a leading consumer nation and one that sets an example, that example being to outsource problems and waste.

The fact people say these sort of things with a straight face without any context is why we will never get anywhere

If you are going to compare countries you have to do it per capita because the environment does not care about arbitrary political boundaries.

If you allocate allowed emissions per country instead of per capita, with each country getting a 1/N share of the Earth's total allowed CO2 emissions where N is the number of countries, then a country that is feeling constrained by that could split into two countries. Everyone's new share is 1/(N+1) but the former residents of the pre-split country now get to individually emit almost twice as much without putting their new country over its quota.

Of course other countries will figure out that trick too. In the limit it reduces to a world of 8 billion countries each with 1 person, and then is indistinguishable from per capita allocation.

I don't know if we're going to survive what's coming. I do know that all it would take is a few more years of this kind of terrible leadership to end any chance at all.

Physical goods pretty small slice of pie considering construction/building operations, transportation and heavy industries. Reality is 7B people in poor countries emissions will massively explode as they develop. Having a few billion slightly more durable refrigerators is relatively minor consideration to the billions tons of concrete that's going to be poured for new infra. There aren't any international body nor transnational coersive policies that's going to make poor shift away from budget CO2 intense methods/goods. Growing developing countries aren't going to wait to buy more expensive durable goods if it improves their QoL, they'll get that budget AC for relief as soon as they can afford it. Which leaves subsidies/funding, but no one (especially the west) going to fund developing world infra on scale that matters when infra at home sucks. Consumer goods producers aren't going to abandon emerging markets, and TBH it's more important for poor people to increase consumption and improve QoL sooner than not. Civilization better off when it's +5 warm but everyone has AC, than when it's +2 warm but only some have AC. Unless +5 warm spirals us into extinction, at which it's survival of fittest/geographic luckiest.

I guess it was a good run fellow humans, or to say it in online gaming terms: "bg skill issue"

It’s also rapidly increasing whereas the second largest polluter, the US, is now down to 1979 levels of total pollution and 1912 levels on a per capita basis: https://twitter.com/noahpinion/status/1686136305519050752

Any kind of global warming plan that doesn’t include China is useless.

Not if you're numb, but it's healthy and normal to have positive emotional responses to the factually delightful, and negative emotional responses to the factually horrific.
