There’s a bunch of African countries I would rather live than the US, although maybe not exactly South Africa or Congo…

That website is using the nations carbon footprint as a part of their measure of happiness which I find confusing. Carbon footprint is important sure but it doesn’t relate to happiness and gives undeveloped countries an advantage.
