Tulla,
In a previous post I mentioned China being the world’s largest polluter of Carbon Dioxide, suggesting percent of total is a more disturbing total than per capita. Although we lead the world on a per capita basis, that figure is dwarfed when comparing China;s total tonnage release of 10357 million metric tons per year compared to 5192 for the US. Figures from The Global Carbon Project, the European Commission and the Netherlands Environmental Asseesssment Agency….2015.
So, far from being unfair, it's paramount China, to a lesser degree India, et al not be given a break simply because they came to the game late.
