Looks like jumping through logical hoops to excuse China and blame the US.

  If you pick a random CO2 molecule out of the atmosphere and ask where it came from, the most likely answer is the US, followed by the EU, followed by China at slightly under half the probability of it being from the US. You have to jump through hoops to not find that the US is the country most responsible for the current state of the atmosphere. And that's not even taking into account populations. The atmosphere doesn't care about where humans draw lines on a map, though, so when trying to decide where a given country stands relative to its fair share of atmospheric pollution you have to look at things per capita. Otherwise you get the ridiculous situation that a large country that was over its share could split itself into smaller countries that are each under their fair share with no actual change in how much pollution is coming from that total set of people.

    Simple solution. Disband the military. It's the elephant in the room.
