While there is still a tiny % that denies climate change and the role that we play in that trend the vast majority of scientists agree that we must immediately take aggressive action to eliminate carbon emissions. Some countries have an advantage due to the availability of geo or hydro resources but others are taking advantage of wind, solar, and nuclear. The following show the countries that are doing the best in these three areas:
