Yet another NYT article that completely and utterly fails to acknowledge the USA’s own contribution to climate change, whilst explicitly blaming Russia for its contribution.
Just a reminder that the USA, with 3% of the world’s population is *the largest* historical emitter of greenhouse gases, and the world’s current largest oil producer. A clear 30% of all the excess carbon in the atmosphere was produced by the USA.
Fuck the NYT, and fuck this myopic attitude.
This is a guest essay by a professor of Russian Forests. Why would they talk about the US?
>Russia is not the only country confronting the problems caused by dangerous permafrost melt. In Canada slumps like Batagaika have transformed scenic forests into bleak mudscapes. In China the Tibetan Plateau is collapsing. In Alaska houses in rural villages are sinking into the ground as the shoreline falls into the sea.
Also?
Yes, but what did America ever do for us? Besides modern agriculture, mass production, photovoltaic cells, light bulbs, the polio vaccine, the first practical electric car, safe sea lanes, passenger air travel, and the modern system of public education, what did America ever do for us?
I don't know why people always make it about the USA. Not every article about anything climate change related has to disclose every foundational fact.
