How about countries that are colder and need heating fuel in the winter versus countries where you can sleep outside yrar round? I'm sure that's taken into account...
There are a lot of Wumao comments there saying that only the per capita number counts.
I pointed out to someone else recently that it's literally the opposite. The little things we can do as individuals don't affect large-scale CO2 levels. You need policy changes. At least, that's what the environuts want. Make it illegal to own your own car, force you to ride a bike, shut down coal plants, etc. If that's what you want, then you have to go to the national level. My individual carbon output as an American is irrelevant. When considering how best to formulate laws and regulations, the ONLY thing of importance is the total output by legal jurisdiction.
Only thing of importance is total output by amount of work done (GDP, goods produced).
If your country is building everything for everybody then it'll have most of the CO2 as well, which is fine. China makes a lot of our shit, problem is they spew out like ten times more CO2 than anybody else would making it.

"muh per capita"
US invades and conquers some poorshit country in Africa with hundreds of millions of people, sharply reducing its per capita emissions
"no, not like that!!!"
