Thats not possible because we have the same capacity to produce product so there will always be a top % who use most of those resources. I think the real take away is that most gains can be made by fixing the processes of rich countries.
Countries like Australia have massive amounts of underutilized renewable energy that are not being used to their fullest extent combined with an American like obsession with cars.
We should be focusing on areas where easy wins can be made rather than looking at countries with the highest level of emissions which is a pointless statistic when they all have different population counts.

- SulfurHexaFluri 6y agoThese aren't minimal changes. Most of our greenhouse gas emissions come from energy production. We have solutions to this but they are not being deployed widely due to political bikeshedding, corruption and blame passing.
