This. This is really the real direction we need. Changing to renewable energy is only one small part of the whole problem. The real problem is that there are too many people on the planet.
However, look at the highest numbers on that list and you'll see nations like Qatar at 32.5, Kuwait at 22.0. Yes, Granted, they don't have huge populations so overall, they're not pumping out that much. However, Australia, America, Canada also are emitting >14 tons per capita. The vast majority of these people do not need to be emitting that much but they do so to fuel luxury, and their "standard of living" while telling the people of countries like Pakistan, Bangladesh, India, China that they need to do better. It's pretty hypocritical.
The top 15% of the world needs to emiting much less. Not the bottom 40%.
Pakistan is an even more interesting example because currently a third of the nation is underwater (literally an inland sea has formed [3]) because of floods that were defintely far more exacerbated this year due to climate change. They're the ones suffering from it (along with good old goverments being incompetent and not planning enough) while they've not benefitted from the emissions in the slightest.

I wonder if taking part in this forum is almost a sure indication of membership in the 10%, so perhaps it's us destroying the planet for the rest of them?
A war kill many, but mostly young, so again you'll end up with a mean elder population. An epidemic typically kill the elders BUT no one can really program it enough in a mass controlled genocide that only modern sibling of ms adolf from Austria can imaging.
The real problem is that we live to live. Not to work, not be workers. Thief's and criminals against humanity who actually run many world society, essentially all the westerners and most of the third world countries, pretend to treat humans a software, slave workers and can't really foresee the real outcome. They dream a future they can't build, that can't work, and they pretend to impose their vision stating that no, it does work indeed.
