You are absolutely incorrect that everyone else is supposed to follow these rules.
The biggest companies in the world and of advocating for all of these rules to prevent local competition, then they use their factories in China that are powered by the dirtiest coal to manufacture everything, and ship it around the oceans on ships powered by bunker fuel. There is a big reason why China has grown to burn about half the carbon on the planet.
So with the vast majority of carbon emitting industries just outsourced so that they can be our picture of Dorian Gray for the environment, they come around to further attack the poor buggers who don't get to just outsource all of their carbon consumption to countries without environmental laws.
That's the sort of thing that's really starting to bother me. People advocate for rules that they never have to follow, companies end up calling for things that don't apply to them because they just move their businesses to places that don't have those rules. People who never have to turn their car on in 40 below to drive 12 hours to the next city advocate for cars that simply can't do that, and for sources of energy that won't produce any power for months of the year.
My government spent $500 billion in the past 8 years in debt alone. That doubled the debt. That's enough money to build enough hydroelectric stations to not just power our entire country electrically multiple times over and convert much of our transportation and industry to carbon neutral energy, but the power of a good chunk of our neighbors. We can become the most environmentally friendly economy on the planet for centuries on such an investment. Instead, we spent that money on basically nothing, and jacked up everyone's taxes (for the luxury of heating our homes in near arctic conditions), and have been implementing a bunch of methods to restrict the amount of food available.
All you have to do to find out what they're really up to is look what they are doing and look what they're not doing.
