      You don’t say.

      Do you think the USA is incapable of a meaningful increase in global emissions? My original comment is implying the opposite

        Maybe if you start heating your homes by burning car tires in your gardens. But otherwise, no. You are already so far behind the curve that economics really don’t allow CO2 emission increases on a global significant level.

          What if a country that holds half the world’s data centers decides to walk out of every global climate accord and start powering those bad boys with fracking due to isolationist trade policies? Won’t amount to zero and in less than a month we find out how that ship is changing its heading

            Those data centers would soon be somewhere else due to… economics. And even if not, wouldn’t be significant.
