This has actually been untrue for almost a decade. China has had higher per-capita emissions than the EU since 2013, and is still climbing, while the EU's is declining.
The US is still 2x china, but has been declining for 50 years, and is currently declining drastically.

- s1artibartfast 4y agoyeah, but most countries in Europe as still much higher per capita.
- simiones 4y agoIndia is still well below any (wealthy) EU country. Also, China is manufacturing much of what the EU and USA are buying, so a lot of those emissions are outsourced to China. It will be interesting to see how these numbers evolve as the EU and USA are starting to think about bringing manufacturing back home... Note also that China is still just below Germany - probably because of manufacturing.
