        No. Your argument is for fools. The argument that a country with a population of 345 million produces less carbon dioxide to pollute the planet’s atmosphere with than a country of 1.42 billion people is nonsense and contributes nothing to any conversation at all. The per capita comparison is what matters, but it’s not used by the people that just really want us to believe “China == bad”. Seems like they’re successful at it based on this interaction, sadly.

    Per capita is the measure that counts, why should Americans be allowed to put multiple times more CO2 into the air than other people?

    They also manufacture the rest of the world’s shit. So all in all they’re pretty clean for how big they are.
