Yeah I agree, I just don't think Bush and his incompetence should be overlooked.
But those companies in China are using that production to:As is the case in every country emitting the high levels CO2, a small group of companies accounts for the lions share of emissions. This is lost when using per capita... we are talking literally about 4-6 companies in each of the top CO2 emitting countries destroying the planet.
Don’t let them use population as a smoke screen.
Coal production(the largest contributor to carbon dioxide emissions i believe) continues to increase in China(and India) and decreasing in America and EU.
If we’re serious, we gotta stop
for the coal burners.
a) Provide for their population, and
b) Provide products for our population
If China was the same population size as us they would produce far less emissions than us. If they didn't produce manufacturing for us and others they would produce even less pollution. That isn't even remotely in question.
the worst in history are jackson, buchanan, andrew johnson, w bush and now trump. i also think pierce, hoover and reagan are down there too.
its hard for me to definitively say who is the worst because they were all so horrible

Yet they have four times the population of the US
White America’s response to a black president was to pick the worst one in our nations history (who also unabashedly props up racists). Think on that for a second...

Are the fires right now even on Trump's radar?

He's at Bush-level; the damage he's wrought has been largely internal to the US as opposed to external - as in the Wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
The erosion of civil rights, environmental regulation, and financial protection, etc. Trump does not have a single tangible "accomplishment" - even the watered-down "criminal justice reform" act his cabinet developed was toothless.
Perhaps the amount of right-wing and corrupt federal judges he's put on the bench could be seen as an "accomplishment" if you're a conservative - but he is certainly in the top 3 "worst" Presidents of the last 50 years or so.

This is going to sound very selfish but that makes his incompetence far more egregious. Your #1 duty as President is to protect your citizens and uphold the Constitution IMO. He's done neither.
That's why I put him bottom 3 all-time.

disagree
he's cut funding to a number of organizations, programs, and aid to countries around the world... I'm sure if we were to assign a body to count to it then it wouldn't be light
Also abandoning things like the Paris Agreement, international treaties, the rule of law, attacking journalists, other democratic ideals and things of that nature have a knock on effect around the world
What about since the beginning?
Why are y’all talking about trump being harmless with reports coming out that he almost started a war with NK? And possible started a war with Iran by assassinating an official head of state? He’s been lucky. shyt could be ten times worse if things naturally played out with this Buffon in office
He is the worst. Pre-Covid, I thought Bush still had him, but 200K are dead due to this man's incompetence, the economy won't recover for years.
When you think about it, it’s amazing how the Republican Party and conservatism as an ideology still exist especially post civil war. Every major domestic catastrophy has happen under their watch. The Great Depression? All happened due to a decade of republican incompetence from Harding to Hoover. Escalation of Vietnam and watergate? Nixon. Complete destruction of major cities due to reduced funding, drugs, and a widening economic gap? Regan. 9/11, two costly wars, Katrina, complete economic collapse of 08? Bush. The only competent Rethug President was Eisenhower and he mainly rode off the post war boom of Roosevelt and Truman
Good list
Goddamn, you reminded me of all sorts of shyt I missed from my list.
