I understand this kind of people is allergic to “per capita”, but really, showing a list of consumption by region when the regions are of such different sizes is next to worthless.
- barbazoo 8mo agoPer capita would be great. The absolute numbers are still mind boggling.
- welferkj 8mo agoI'm "allergic to per capita" specifically in cases where it doesn't matter but keeps getting brought up as a bad faith retort. As an example, it doesn't matter who emits CO2 or where from, since we're all emitting it into the same air, and the only thing that matters is the absolute amount. Similarly, I imagine it's cold comfort for domestic animals in subsaharan Africa that their torturers, rapists, and murderers are marginally less prolific than those in other regions.
