They could ask the same question - why is the US allowed to have higher per-capita emissions?
- rbritton 9y agoWhy are per-capita emissions a more important number than net emissions? With the former, China is behind us (roughly half) whereas with the latter, they're roughly double based on the current Wikipedia numbers.
- swampthing 9y agoI'm not saying they're more important. But as for why they are important, I think that there is some relationship between how people live and per-capita emissions. So if you ignore the population size and only look at net emissions, the people in larger countries would be held to a higher standard than the people in the smaller countries.
