I don't know why the focus is on US emissions and not production.
We produced more fossil fuels under Biden than trump, the difference is we use fossil fuels to ship the rest of the fossil fuels half way around the planet for them to burn over there.
Shit will get worse, but it has been getting worse longer than most of us have been alive.
If the best we can ever do is slow down the increase of damage rate, we're just mopping the deck of the Titanic while it goes down.
Importing fossil fuels is more of an accelerant to climate change than domestic production. Approximately 40% of global cargo ships are carrying fossil fuels.
Increased production does not imply increased consumption. Our dependence on fossil fuel has decreased, and renewable energy consumption has increased, in the last four years.

That's why. The sections of the billionaire-owned media that don't deny anthropogenic climate change or pretend that it's a good thing all have a vested interest in pretending that Dem leadership can do no wrong.

That's like people really want to still brag about "Biden's signature climate legislation" despite fossil fuel companies publicly asking for trump to keep it, because it's making them so much money.
Rather than just doing what Dem voters want and getting the votes, Dem politicians keep doing what Dem voters hate for the donation money, then try to use it to convince all the people they pissed off to still vote for them.
If the goal is electing Dems the DNC is completely incapable.
If their goal is making sure billionaires keep accumulating wealth tho, they're doing a great job ensuring regardless of who wins an election the wealthy always make more money.
