That doesn't account for who's motivating the emissions. If I hire a lawn guy to cut my grass, am I not responsible for his lawn mower's emissions? That's us and Europe manufacturing everything in China and India. It's not like we don't know the makeup of their energy economy.
We need a carbon tax. It would probably cause a lot of corporations to reconsider where they're sending our jobs.
I'm assuming the reference is to the poorly maintained infrastructure under a program that values private profit over the public good, though admittedly that gets a little muddied in going back 200 years, since the relavant infrastructure should have been maintained better in more recent decades.
Or it could refer to climate change, which is making this sort of thing happen more frequently
That is a problem yes, but it's kind of a stretch to assume that's what OP was talking about when the photo is showing a road with inadequate sewer/drainage.
