Comment on What can be done to prevent more dangerous heatwaves in Europe?

It appears that Europe does many things right for sustainability and climate change - public transit over cars, recycling, reducing carbon footprint better compared to other parts of the world.
No. It wasn’t enough by far
There have been many right ideas, but what has actually been done was only a tiny little change, not significant.

Interesting. What are a couple things Europe should do to reduce it’s carbon footprint?

Stop burning things (oil, gas, …).
Stop producing and buying so many animals for food.
Grow new woods (real large, not tiny).

Europe is already better per capita than most regions. not much point in getting Europeans to cut C02 more when Americans are still driving tanks and burning coal.

Do you blame the US or other polluter nations for Europe’s heatwave?

I do, but even though it’s unfair and certainly making things worse, Europe also has a long ways to go, and a big margin to offset. We can acknowledge that the US is hurting the entire world with their climate policies, but we can also do our best to reduce our pollution. At the end of the day, it will be better if just the US pollutes, than if both the US and Europe do.
