The world in 2023 increased its annual emissions by 398 million metric tons, but it was in three places: China, India and the skies. China’s fossil fuel emissions went up 458 million metric tons from last year, India’s went up 233 million metric tons and aviation emissions increased 145 million metric tons.
Outside of India and China, the rest of the world’s fossil fuel emissions went down by 419 million metric tons, led by Europe’s 205 million metric ton drop and a decrease of 154 million metric tons in the United States.
You are off-topic, OP's talking about the share of fossil in energy production.
Or you are misguided (and have been for a while), because the accounting of CO₂ emissions is done where it is consumed. The US being an O&G exporter incurs production, refining and transportation emissions counted on their territory, but the rest is counted in the importing country's.
How am I off topic exactly. Fossil fuels are extracted so that they can be consumed. US is facilitating fossil fuel consumption by creating policies that encourage fossil fuel extraction. What you're doing here is just sophistry to avoid acknowledging this fact.
What you are doing here is pretend that the US, a non-OPEC country, single handedly governs the worldwide oil and gas supply and demand. Which is the most ridiculous assertion in your opinion?
I'm not pretending anything. I'm pointing out a basic fact that US is a major oil and gas exporter that has ramped up its oil and gas extraction to record levels. You're just straw manning here to distract from this fact.
