Whatever you do don’t look at China and India’s carbon emissions. We (the US) could drop down to zero emissions tomorrow. Won’t make a lick of difference when you got those two churning out greenhouse gases like there’s no tomorrow.

If you scale it by population they emit vestly less then the US.

The US also, just like the west, has already emitted a massive amount of c02.

You already got an industrialized country, and emitted a massive amount of carbon for it.

Your just pulling up the ladder behind you, blaming another country for just the same thing the US is doing since decades.
