      Yeah i am not going to integrate random graphs on my phone for a lemmy post, but depending on the time frame in the century it was even more than 10 (60s-70s Europe and Japan had 8t each while China had 2t) and towards the end a little less doesnt really matter for the point does it?

      Your own graph shows that western nations and their people are historically the major contributors towards CO2.

      The 80% was hyperbole yes, but your second graph shows China making 6x more than Japan while your first graph shows China only recently overtaking Japan in per capita CO2.

      Now we have squirreled around the elephant in the room, by criticizing the inaccuracy of my statistical evaluation in a comment made through my breakfast. So riddle me this: What is the country that has cumulatively produced most CO2 and like double the second? (sorry for approximating and not giving you 20 significant figures)

      What is the country that elected a “drill baby drill” president - twice? What is the country known for excessive CO2 heavy lifestyles, think yachts, private jets, rolling coal, heavy AC use, weakly isolated buildings, constantly blowing shit up from jets that other countrys then need to rebuild? And in contrast what is the country known for building solar and battery cells? Someone here is looking at the stats, misrepresenting the key points and that one is not me.

      You can’t offload all manufacturing to China, buy their shit, then point the finger of increasing emissions.
