The answer is zero. Stop trying to blame all the world's problems on the Hwhite man.
lololol the apologism from the reddit thread:
Although awful, please keep in perspective that both India and China have a population over 1 billion each. China produces 7.38 tonnes per capita of CO2 USA produces 15.52 tonnes per capita of CO2 India produces 1.91 tonnes per capita of CO2. China and India are the highest polluters solely to being at least double the population of Western nations but when looked at per capita, the west causes far more harm
CO2 is not a pollutant. It's actually a good thing for the world that CO2 goes up. Plants need CO2 to live, and the world is too cold now, it would be better if we warmed it up a bit. Call it terraforming.
What the fuck does CO2 have to do with plastic pollution? His whataboutism.exe is broken.
LOL Its incredible ALL these people complaining about China. The west moved many of their industry and productions to China so If they have pollution problem its west fault too. If you Care so much about pollution, stop buying so many things too.
Told you. It's ALWAYS the Hwhite man's fault. No matter what. Apparently the fact that the Chinese Communist Party does not follow basic waste management practices, and the fact that the Chinese people throw all their trash in the river is somehow white people's fault because their iPhone was assembled in China.
That's not the point. The point is that despite China's muh high-speed railway network and shit, there are still hundreds of millions of Chinese who live in what's essentially the Dark Ages. So of course those people don't use any plastics, they don't even know what that is.
Properly disposing of plastic waste involves burning it, which creates various chlorine-based gases, and CO2. It's how we dispose of plastic if it isn't landfilled - which is the only legal way to dispose of it in the US and Canada (and, if I recall, Europe as well, though they do incinerate a lot there).

Sounds like he's arguing to bring manufacturing back to the US?

of course their number is smaller when you divide it by a billion
