Does the US have the most aggressive programs in place to reduce carbon emissions of any country?

No, if anything the US is lagging behind most other developed countries in this area, and as the US is the largest producer of carbon emissions of any country (by a long way), its lack of action and bad example is upsetting the rest of the world.

What is the national carbon footprint?
This is the total emissions of carbon (from CO2 and CH4), expressed in tons, for a country in one year.
Are carbon emissions going to destroy the ozone?
Yes they are. Carbon emissions cause global warming and then they cause ozone depletion.
How does afforestation offset global warming?
Forests absorb carbon dioxide (CO2) and store the carbon. A company or country emitting CO2 can plant trees to 'offset', or counterbalance their emissions. They may find it cheaper to do this rather than to reduce their emissions. Through afforestation they reduce their carbon footprint, and raise their standing among their peers.
When people in the oil rich country of Dubai must adapt to a lack of natural freshwater how does this contribute to carbon emissions and global warming?
PLEASE ANSWER
What Accounts for most of the carbon dioxide emissions for a country?
Cars. Back in 1976 it was mandated that all US cars have catalytic converters to transform the carbon monoxide (CO) to carbon dioxide (CO2). Was that a good thing or bad?..you decide

Country that causes the most pollution as a result of carbon dioxide emissions?
China
What is the national carbon footprint?

How do carbon emissions exemplify the tragedy of the commons?
Carbon emissions are not related to the tragedy of the commons. There are not any studies that confirm that carbon emissions contributed in any way.
What is the difference between carbon credits and Certified emissions rate?
Certified emission rates are a limit on the amount of emissions a company can release into the atmosphere within a given time frame. It is a cap on the emissions itself.Carbon credits looks more at the net carbon emissions. There are companies that plant trees, which reduce the amount of carbon in the air. For their good deeds, they get carbon credits, which they sell to companies that emit carbon. The carbon credits work to offset the actual amount of emissions a company puts out.Note that carbon credits cancel out the emissions, but don't lower emissions at all, unlike a cap on emission rates.
Are carbon emissions released to the air when driving a car?
Yes, in the form of CO2 (carbon dioxide), CO (carbon monoxide) and other carbon emissions, including more or less pure carbon.
Are carbon emissions going to destroy the ozone?
Yes they are. Carbon emissions cause global warming and then they cause ozone depletion.
How are carbon emissions produced?
cars.
Which country contributes the most carbon emissions?
those countries who went to the moon often and those who declares themselves as the first world country- america,european countries,
How does solar power reduce carbon emissions?
By its self it does not reduce carbon emissions. What it does do is provide an alternative source of energy that does not create any more carbon emissions. Though, this will only become effective when solar energy is more cost effective than carbon based energy.
How does afforestation offset global warming?
Forests absorb carbon dioxide (CO2) and store the carbon. A company or country emitting CO2 can plant trees to 'offset', or counterbalance their emissions. They may find it cheaper to do this rather than to reduce their emissions. Through afforestation they reduce their carbon footprint, and raise their standing among their peers.
What are the causes of carbon emissions?
The causes of carbon emissions are humans. We humans use fuel by DRIVING TOO MANY FUEL CARS AND TRUCKS!
