IMHO, the CA fires have much more to do with extreme environmentalists and their stupid ideas about not allowing controlled burns to thin out dangerously thick underbrush and similar, rather than the climate change bogeyman. And the NYC heatwave is more about normal wild variability of weather, much like the recent East coast polar incursions last winter, and normal/natural long term cycles of unusual hot or cold local weather, much like the very recent whopper hail storms in Colorado that had some summer hail as big as a softball, which hadn't happened in over 30 years. Both of those have more to do with media chaos merchants who cover bad and fake news in greed & control freak modes... and haven't covered global temperature drops per sources like GISS. :( No question about CO2 generation in the Asia Pacific area, although your chart only goes up to 2011 but does show the mild US & EU CO2 drop since about 2007. When I was tracking & recording CO2 numbers through 2015, the drop continued through 2015 mostly due IMHO to more awareness and stuff like the use of high tech CFLs and LED lighting plus electric cars & higher natural gas usage at electricity generation facilities. Be thankful for the oil spike years ago for finally getting big electricity generators to get off their asses and switch to NatGas for economic and environmental reasons. ;)
