Thanks, @realDonaldTrump! The United States led the world in 2019 in reducing energy-related CO2 emissions on a per-country basis

Thank you, President Trump, for your leadership and making sure the United States is leading the world in reducing carbon emissions!

And, as you see from the last line here, global warming and “milder summer and winter weather” helped usher in the decrease:

The United States saw the largest decline in energy-related CO2 emissions in 2019 on a country basis – a fall of 140 Mt, or 2.9%, to 4.8 Gt. US emissions are now down almost 1 Gt from their peak in the year 2000, the largest absolute decline by any country over that period. A 15% reduction in the use of coal for power generation underpinned the decline in overall US emissions in 2019. Coal-fired power plants faced even stronger competition from natural gas-fired generation, with benchmark gas prices an average of 45% lower than 2018 levels. As a result, gas increased its share in electricity generation to a record high of 37%. Overall electricity demand declined because demand for air-conditioning and heating was lower as a result of milder summer and winter weather.

Will Time now put President Trump on its cover?

It’s only fair.
