Now do per-capita emissions.

Y’all are always talking about overpopulation - seems like if a huge population is causing huge emissions, we can blame that. Maybe we should praise the US for having a responsibly sized population.

Looks like you missed the point. What’s ‘per-capita’?

It turns out that America has a population of one, once you adjust per-capita.

And yet those overpopulated nations are responsible for a tiny fraction of the cumulative GHG in the atmosphere. Whereas countries like the UK and US are responsible for the vast majority.

It’s almost like it’s got nothing to do with population.

How does that matter. Why do these countries have such massive populations in the first place?

> How does that matter.

Someone emitting significantly more GHCs has more room to cut while still maintaining a high standard of living? Someone buring firewood for fuel doesn't really have a lot of other options.

The reason they're struggling to survive is because they're not having a responsible amount of children, and for some reason future generations don't learn and have responsible amounts of children either.

Overpopulation is the issue.
