Per GDP dollar? That scales with population so you're basically saying bigger countries emit more CO2. You cherry picked a way of measuring it that makes it look bad but hides the underlying cause that's not bad - lots of people.

Per capita, the US has double the CO2 emissions than China.

No intention of slowing it? They're building more nuclear plants than anyone else.

I'd be willing to bet that the US's lifetime emissions vastly outweigh China's lifetime emissions. The US is in no position to lecture anyone.

I though your government was stating there is no need to protect the environment, as it is the product of a collective phantasy of so called researchers.
