Deer in the Headlights

[capcom]

Yes, the whole per capita vs total emissions debate bends to political will and is primarily bogus. Per capita doesn't mean much if you are a postage stamp economy with a with low density population like Australia, so it's really just used by extremists to name and shame.

The real unequivocal issue is total emissions. Everybody knows the major polluters in this regard, having a massive under-resourced low economic status population gets all your per capita emissions average down across the board.

But those realities cannot be used as an excuse for a lack of action by any country.

Hear you LP.  To push home that point, if we shut down down ALL power tomorrow for an entire year, China would obliterate the savings in a week.  They are the REAL culprits as they're treated as a developing country that is treated far more favourably than one that is obviously developed

We're not anybody's whipping boy
