Question: is it morally permissible for wealthy countries producing high CO2/capita (Germany, Netherlands, USA-bloody-hell-but-this-is-r/europe) to push for carbon emission reductions in countries like Portugal and Greece, before they have at least brought their CO2 emissions down to an equivalent level (normalised for climate)?
Funny how Germans seem the most vocal in “saving the planet” yet they’re among the worst with regards to emission 🤣🤣
What’s the figure for China?
Tu quoque, Canada?
Since these are adjusted, what about emissions absorbed by environment? Size and density of population has an impact.
With this Data you say, that everyone is polluting equally, (as The Carbon Footprint per Person was/is just a PR Stunt of BP (oil company) so to say, that you are the reason for Pollution. but with all the efford of a Person, nearly nothing ist done. We need to regulate the conpanies (there is a great kurzgesagt Video about it). But companies got a lot of Lobby correlated political-Power. In Germany it’s a fight against Windmills.
(Sorry for the bad english)
Anyone know the explanation for Ireland’s bulge around 2005?
Is there a breakdown on how much of this is based on transport? Just curious because I imagine the US and Canada (and Mexico if it were on here) have to expend way more CO2 on transport because they’re so fucking huge.
Problem with this graphic is that it doesn’t account for population growth. The US seem to be doing good, but their population has increased.
The climate doesn’t care how much emissions per person are emitted, only total emission counts.
I suggest using the CO2 emissions per capita in 1990 instead.
Australia needs to be on the chart
The only correct metric.
Add UAE/Saudi Arabia to the list to squeeze things a bit!
Adjusting for trade makes no sense. Trade Co2 emissions is not something countries can control.
Of course China pollutes the least. It’s so green the world is years behind to catch up. /s
I don’t think the planet cares about per capita
France is the cleanest and greenest country in Europe.
