Not sure what your argument is. We're talking about per capita emissions, not per country emissions, which doesn't even make sense. Why would an arbitrary grouping of human beings like a nation matter in terms of what emissions ea

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

These graphs measures "burning of fossil fuels for energy and cement production" only, which only represents a fraction of the total emissions in a country. It doesn't measure household emissions or food production. It also h

To put it bluntly, what the title says is just not true. This graph measures the "burning of fossil fuels for energy and cement production". Cement production and burning of fossil fules only. Hence it is misleading at best. It do

The NASA scientists went on and revolutionised the tech and manufacturing industry after the lunar landing. I'd hardly say this is a case of technological supremacy reverting, rather the opposite. The technical expertise developed ther

The US is really doubling down on the narrative that the WHO has been covering up the epidemic. The pettiness and lack of honesty among US politicians is staggering. "In the original report, we laid out many of the ways the Chinese Com

In fact, the Soviet union was there at the time of the US moon landing, as their automated Luna 15 craft crashed into the lunar surface.

Have you ever reflected on the magnitude of American patriotism post-WW2, especially during wartime? Seems to be a major case of widespread, ideological and irrational pro-governmental belief.

Incidentally, there was a lot of simulations of what was going on on television during the time, especially leading up to the landing itself. It may have had something to do with why it got stuck in peoples mind that the entire thing was si

We don't have exact data for the entire product life cycle emissions, but the data I provided give some indications of the difference in scale. What we can see is that 1) Household emissions represent the largest share of global emissi

Those statistics are very incomplete, as they don't measure the emissions connected to the whole lifecycle of products, but rather seem to track only a weighted average of production based emissions (which appears to be their definitio

The talk about China is predictively ignorant and in conflict with facts. Since you're still mentioning total emissions instead of per capita emissions, I can only assume you have a political axe to grind.

These statistics don't take into account consumption based emissions, only production based emissions (except oil production, I believe). Western countries have outsourced their production to developing countries (which looks nice for
