    • The US (along with most industrialized countries) are consistently becoming better at growing their economies while polluting less per dollars.zarkonite
    • Yeah, but the US gutted its manufacturing base and sent it to China, and it has about a third of the population and has been #1 economy for decades. No excuse.detritus
    • China's pivot to cleanTech was internal (re: smog) and it has singularly made leaps and bounds in very few years, showing up all us hypocrite cunts in the Westdetritus
