Right. Emissions now lower than when everyone was individually burning wood and coal 24 hours a day. Ok? Is that surprising or useful or actionable?

  They're not, though. Household emissions are many, many times larger now. Also wood is not a fossil fuel.

      > Are you saying the data is simply wrong? The data only measures cement production and fossil fuel burning, as the caption says. It says nothing about total emissions per capita. Hence the title is wrong, yes. > The article is about per capita emissions, not household emissions. Household emissions contribute the largest share of per capita emissions. But hardly any household emissions are measured by "cement production and fossil fuel burning". > Nobody said it was. What's this got to do with anything? Burning wood is carbon neutral.
