The somewhat ludicrous Beto O'Rourke is blaming his own nation for Guatemala's present dryness. Now, one can wholeheartedly blame the US for a lot of things down here, but this particular bit of finger pointing is actually rather lame. Liberal self-flagellation in fact.
As of 2017, of worldwide carbon emissions, the US accounted for 13.7%. The UK? A mere 1%. China on the other hand has now attained 29.3% (more than the whole of 'the west') and India's 6.6% needs to be understood in terms of a fourfold increase over thirty years.
Meanwhile, the highest emissions per capita are in Qatar, Kuwait, the UAE, and Saudi Arabia.
Stopping this catastrophe is going to involve a while load of condoms as well as little Swedish girls taking the boat rather than the plane.
And the Mayab tended to suffer from near-apocalyptic droughts long before the greatest nation on earth even existed.
