The alleged reward we get for the IRA’s endless, costly subsidies and for its costly new restrictions on fossil fuels, is, *according to supporters*, just a 10 %age pt decrease in US emissions. Globally that’s 1.4 %age pts. In practice it’ll be lower due to offshored emissions. https://t.co/BpbQCCNz61 — PolitiTweet.org

China (> 30% of global emissions) already emits more than twice what the US does (< 14%) and is on a growth trajectory, as Chinese are still far poorer and emit far less per capita than we do. China will obviously not follow anything like the IRA. https://t.co/hGA9vpbJvI — PolitiTweet.org

Myth 9: The IRA will protect us from climate danger Truth: Even if the IRA had a significant effect on global emissions, which it won’t, it would *increase* climate danger by making America poorer and thus far less resilient to all forms of climate danger—natural or manmade. — PolitiTweet.org
