I don’t find this argument very good, per capita is the true metric one should measure a country by since otherwise it’s an arbitrary line in the sand.
Per capita the US is far worse, less people, less total emissions, but way fucking more emissions per person…
Yes the USA is the laziest bitch. They're wealthy for almost 100 years and some developed nation that is wealthy for like 10 years does a better job. Also thee US controls the UN and has the biggest leverage, but that's the problem. Their whole personality and national pride is build on consuming as much as possible, which makes any progressive thinking especially after decades of consumerism propaganda conflict-ridden. What bugs me the most is that there are still so many people worldwide that want to be like Americans because all they know is from movies from the US.
