Thanks for the links.Hmm. What are "recent years"? US emissions have been falling since 2007 apparently. EU emissions have risen slightly (about 30 MtCO2e) from 2014 to 2017.
Looking at the US references, I don't see an overall figure for 2014, so I can't calculate the corresponding change.
I'll have to class the statement as maybe true.
(Of course you're right that relative to 1990, EU emissions have decreased and US emissions have increased.)

"It is a shocking irony that America, which everybody thinks is behaving very badly over climate change, has reduced its emissions by about as much as the EU has increased its emissions in recent years." — Matt Ridley, in 2019
(The Germans have closed their nuclear plants, and constructed coal plants, to supplement irregular power from solar and wind.)
Interesting if true; anyone care to to confirm or deny?

Yes, plastic waste is a problem, but banning plastic straws is not only such a small thing as to cause very little net change, it's actually damaging to people with certain types of disabilities, so on balance I think it's not worth it.

@jalcine Well, it makes its easy to find out who we should block.
We literally have all of the instances that interact with them the de-federated.
This is actually useful.

Micro SF/F stories by O Westin
"Excuse me," the man - a foreigner, by his strange accent and clothes - said, "are you William Shakespeare?"
Will rolled his eyes. Fame was nice, but right now he just wanted to have a few drinks with his friends. "No, I'm the Earl of fucking Oxford."
"Yes!"
The man disappeared.
