Boycott US
Overview:
The community dedicated to boycotting the US until they stop fascism, restore full democracy and start following international law.
Americans have a moral obligation to resist Donald Trump and project 2025 at every turn.
America is a flawed democracy currently being ruled by oligarchs. Stop the backslide! Dont let America become the next Hungary.
America needs to challenge the court rulings of citizens united v. fec and shelby county v. holder, protect the media, implement independent district drawing, and the single transferable vote so they don't end up having people stay home in life-changing elections because they cannot vote for their favourite candidate.

This is actually really bad as far as emissions are concerned. The emissions from transportation of oil alone are massive, outweighing all other emissions from overseas transport.
Countries have largely abandoned the climate change initiative for a while, a video by sabin explains it well
I'm not sure what value this comment adds to the conversation.
It's stating a point that is unfortunately true. It's important to know.
All is lost, friend.
Not yet, no. Even at the rate things are changing now we've got 20 years before any apocalypse scenarios. We should be working to avoid those at all cost. Even those caught up in the worst of it can flee to areas less affected.
Every emission now will cause suffering later.
People really, really don't like hearing the truth when it's bad news. Not all of us are blind however.
even in research you cant "say climate change caused by people" otherwise you wont get grant funding, thats how in denial people are.
Container ships lower earth average temperature by 0.3 °C via SO2 emissions. That's why the IMO limiting sulphur content of bunker fuel was a bad move, which could catapult us above 2 °C.

Really interesting, thanks for the read.
it should balance out somewhat--the u.s. exports are roughly the same as its canadian imports; unless they do something really stupid like increasing what's already historic production levels to make up for the loss of canadian imports.
