No, that's Australia. We do a lot of stupid shit to earn that title. We're the #1 coal exporter in the world (note: exporter, the US beats us on production), despite having a tiny population and economy compared to the USA. We're also mostly desert and have a pop of ~20 million, just like Saudi Arabia, and we also pour our fossil fuel profits into a sovereign wealth fund, just like Saudi Arabia - oh wait no we don't, we're less financially prudent than Saudi "let's build a ski resort here" Arabia.
