Good argument, maybe it should be based on the area of land controlled by each nation? Population density or Tons of CO2 produced per square mile? The problem

Good argument, maybe it should be based on the area of land controlled by each nation? Population density or Tons of CO2 produced per square mile? The problem with per capita policy is it encourages over population which makes the problem worse.

On the other hand, focusing on controlled area of land seems like a good way to encourage wars over territory. I don't think there's an easy answer.

  Not to be harsh, but that sounds like it will solve two problems with one stone... I don't think war is good for anyone but it has a way of reducing both population and carbon output.

And China actually made effort in past to control that as well (One Child policy). Only recently they relaxed it to avoid social side effects and unbalance in proportion between generations, and fertility rate is still bellow that of the USA (1.62 vs 1.80).
