My argument isn't with claims the US is the worst in just about every category. My argument is with your ongoing blanket claims about Evil Americans. There are huge discussions and debates going on here about that concrete level you mention. We fight about it constantly.
Yes, we're number one in per capita CO2 pollution. Guess who's a fairly close number five?

And guess who cuts down more timber per capita than any other nation in the world?

I don't disagree that something should be done, and I don't disagree that America has problems in this area. It just seems to me that you would rather call us names that have an honest discussion of the situation.
