China's per-capita emissions are also unsustainably high (~ 7t/year and citizen) but Americans emit about 2.3 times per year and capita. Saving the same, absolute, amount of emissions will certainly be easier when it is a lower fraction of the total emissions (i.e. it's easier to avoid e.g. 1/16th ~= 6% of your emissions than 1/7th ~= 14% (that's 1 ton saved per capita and year in both cases, the former in the US, the latter in China)). https://ourworldindata.org/co2-and-other-greenhouse-gas-emissions https://ourworldindata.org/co2-and-other-greenhouse-gas-emis...
