- Zhyl 7y agoAbsolutely. High absolute indicates a lot of damage and should be reduced. High per-capita indicates a lot of excess and/or waste, which should be reduced.
- joshuaissac 7y agoAmerica has high absolute values, as well, and is ranked second. While its carbon emissions are only just over half of China's, they are also more than double that of India in third place, and comprise around 15% of total global emissions (based on 2018 data).
