“We suspect you won’t hear too much about this from the liberal mainstream media, or the environmental movement, or even Al Gore,” says zerohedge.com. “But, according to the latest energy report from The Energy Information Administration (EIA), under President Trump, per-capita carbon dioxide emissions are now the lowest they’ve been in nearly seven decades.”
Even more interesting is the fact that US carbon emissions dropped while emissions from energy consumption for the rest of the world increased by 1.6%, after little or no growth for the three years from 2014 to 2016.
The U.S. emitted 15.6 metric tons of CO2 per person in 1950. After rising for decades, it’s declined in recent years to 15.8 metric tons per person in 2017, the lowest measured levels in 67 years.

two points to note.
1. According to the experts Trump would lead to more and more environmental disasters, but apparently the experts are wrong again.
2. Under Trump manufacturing has increased and the EPA has killed a bunch of regulations, both of which will lead to disasters, but that is not happening. What gives?
of course our emissions have fallen. We’ve been deindustrialized. Thank China, India, Malaysia . . . and so on.
