As for CA they have made some industries more regulated than Germany. In my industry I visit factories in Germany that would not be allowed in CA
What kind of regulations are you talking about exactly?
Quote:
You say that the us emissions are lax. I think they are super strict compared to china. Our catalytic converters are mandatory and strict.
In the context of climate change there a number for the carbon emissions that a country produces. That number is a lot higher per person in the US than it is in China.

One idea would be to give a higher duty for the worst offending industries for example.
I don't have something against increasing tariffs for products that need high emissions to get produced.
I however don't think that is political doable to set them high enough to have a strong impact.
