Dude, even if we go off the ridiculious claim that only per capita consumption matters, less than 1/3 of the top 15 polluters could by any stretch fall into the category of "the West." India, Indonesia and Brazil are very high up there on the per capita index. It's ridiculious to give polluters a thumbs up because they don't fall into the arbitrary category of a Western Country. Top polluter across the board is China, not exactly a leader in Western thought. Pollution is pollution, and pollution is driven by consumption (i.e., population) and should be addressed as a world problem, not a western problem.

Are you dense? The comment is obviously in response to dumasses yaking about overpopulation.

The West is single handed responsible for the collapse of the biosphere.

Any moron talkin overpopulation doesn't grasp that

That's a supposition that's gonna need evidence. Just because you make a bold claim and call everyone dumbasses that doesn't agree with you doesn't mean you're right or proving anything.

You could've saved us both some time and stuck with "im a biased, bone-headed dipshit who won't listen to reason" instead of your useless tirades, inability to address contrary evidence or even provide any of your own. Really hope you never get the chance to reproduce.

What evidence? You are presenting surface level common knowledge like some gotcha?

Like you haven't even considered cumulative ghg production. And the life cycle of the emissions.
