Just own goal, after own goal, after own goal by the current US political party in power.
While China proceeds to lap us doing what they party insisted was economically infeasible if not impossible. Investing in cutting edge technologies, gaining energy independence, and leading the world in manufacturing growth.
And instead of investing in the future, building better products and tech, and out competing the world, all we've heard from the past decade+ is protectionism for oil interests and tariffs for industries.
Such backwards thinking, while China is an existence proof of what they claimed couldn't happen.
Such lost opportunity for no good reason at all. This country is going to hate being so weak in the international stage, but it's almost inevitable given its domestic choices.
The United States outsourced the bulk of its consumer production to China and the latter's emissions are still falling. You don't find that impressive?
I think what's amazing about China's case is that they manage to both grow their productive apparatus, whilst decreasing their environmental impact. Pretty good news!
A chinese has much less per capita emission than let's say someone from a western country.
I think there should be a equal global limit on how much per capita CO2 your can release and if you exceed you should pay a penalty and if you are lower that limit you should be able to sell those credits.
Harsh penalties are the only way we can fix this issue unfortunately.

What are you going on about? US emissions have been going down for the last 10 years: https://www.eia.gov/environment/

Our environment is much much more important than the economy. We should be able to reduce production output when we need to.
Seems like a majority of voters disagree with your first sentence.

In other news, Mount Everest is getting smaller due to erosion. Wow.

But of course the countries who would have to pay are precisely the ones that will never sign on that.
