Claiming land with lots of different features on it isn't a quality in itself, you also have to preserve it. In relation to your population density your river water quality is shit, you go overboard with fertilizer, you deforest without replanting, you just dump garbage somewhere and bury it under soil once the pile is big enough, which also means that you need far more newly dug up resources for producing new goods than other nations do. Your efforts in environmental protectionism are absolute garbage and it's not enough to take a few pretty mountain ranges and declare them national parks.

We already produce CO2 by breathing and so does all our livestock, there's no need to produce megatons more of it. Also the issue isn't the CO2, it's that all industrial emission of CO2 relies on unpure fossil resources and also produces certain amounts far more harmful carbon monoxide and nitrous oxides, and then there are all sorts of chemical byproducts that are simply dumped into the ground or into rivers all over the world, probably including the US judging by your rivers.
>>67151820
>Not that Drumf would be any better, he thinks that environmental control is a Chinese plot to hinder American enterprises.
The IPCC says that we have to reduce worldwide carbon emissions by 72% of 1990 levels in the next 35 years. The only real way to do that(bar us coming up with viable fusion power plants, which actually isn't that unlikely) is to dismantle a shitload of our industry and power generation and trigger a worldwide recession. Solar panels and hybrids are just trimming around the edges
Please tell me what the magic bullet for reducing carbon emissions without sending us back to the 1920's is f.am, I'd love to hear it

The Legatum Prosperity Index, the Institute’s signature publication, provides a lens through which to view a comprehensive assessment of national success. Prosperity is more than just the accumulation of material wealth, it is also the joy of everyday life and the prospect of an even better life in the future. This is true for individuals as well as nations. The Legatum Prosperity Index offers a unique insight into how prosperity is forming and changing across the world.

But this is completely incorrect. This is a huge meme that seems to be stuck in the 1960's. If it was true then why do I see protests in China everyday and open debate in all the universities over government policy?
China has a significant amount of privacy and personal freedoms. The difference is that the government can intervene when it a court allows it to.
Rwanda is just as intrusive as China.

No it is not. There is very little difference between how authoritarian Rwanda's government is and China's.
