Yes, and it's scary how often this broken thinking pops up here. Here's a quick quiz: China decides to split in two. Can each half now by rights pollute twice as much as it was before? Does the EU count as one large mega polluter or a bunch of small conscientious countries? Should we cap an Indian's emissions at 1/50th of those of an Australian, or use their economic development as an excuse to do whatever we want? The planet doesn't care about whatever imaginary lines we draw on a map. Per capita is all that matters and Australia is doing very poorly.
