Sorry, no. Check the data.

  I looked up some data on this now, and Germany is ahead of Poland in CO2 emissions from Coal: https://www.statista.com/statistics/1014423/co2-emissions-from-coal-combustion-in-selected-countries/ https://www.statista.com/statistics/1014423/co2-emissions-fr... There is also a page on the German Wikipedia showing CO2 emissions from Gas, Coal and Oil burning and again Germany is significantly above Poland: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liste_der_gr%C3%B6%C3%9Ften_Kohlenstoffdioxidemittenten#Emissionsmaximum_nach_L%C3%A4ndern https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liste_der_gr%C3%B6%C3%9Ften_Ko...

    Those are absolute numbers. Germany's population is more than twice that of Poland. Germany's electricity production is 25% coal where as it is over 70% coal in Poland.

      Sure, but we are not talking about per capita co2 emissions but the worst emitter, and that is Germany and not Poland. The world does not care about per capita anything, it cares about absolutes.

        So I guess the problem might be solved if Germany dissolves into 16 smaller countries, this will surely reduce its emissions drastically. I haven't thought of that brilliant angle of tackling the climate crisis, just reduce the size of countries. Do you have other ideas? At this rate we might solve the problem within a couple hours.

          Honestly I'm not sure what argument you are trying to make.
