This also happens to be where 1/3 of the world’s population lives.

Also happens to be places where they have virtually no environmental laws, the populations are mostly not concerned or don’t know about recycling, and the rivers are used as garbage dumps.

Making new laws and installing trashcans is far easier than fundementally reworking the transport logistics system in the united states. Also, the top 10 largest ships produce more emissions than almost the whole populace (not businesses) of china.

Emissions of what? If you’re talking about carbon emissions then you’re not telling the truth.

Large commercial vessels primarily burn what's called Heavy Fuel Oil when out at sea. This fuel is not heavily refined, has high sulfur content and produces a lot of sulfur oxide and nitrogen oxide compounds when it is burned.

I understand the issue of heavy fuel oil, but you made a claim about “emissions.” I was asking you to clarify and back up your claim.

My claim is that the united states disproportionately emits carbon due to our over reliance on vehicle logistics, and high standards of living. My facts are based off of Cumulative and Per-Capita data. But mostly, i think The OP is misleading his flock.

I agree that China and India now produce more CO2 emissions than the United States or Europe. This is a fact that @GretaThunberg would do well to note. However, a percentage graph can be disingenuous since 10% of a large nation’s emissions can easily eclipse that of the small.

The U.S., Europe, Japan, and China have the intellectual capital & wealth to lead the way to commercial fusion and next gen nuclear power (drop control rods if anything goes wrong & require no generators or external power). Like cell phones linked Africa, it will bring a leap.

Per capita, the untied states produces far more carbon. Its not even close to china or india. But you wouldn’t post that graph because it wouldn’t suit your narrative, because your goal is to remove guilt, not solve the problem.

"Per capita" How about absolute values? What is the total environmental impact?

Per capita is the amount of total emissions divided by the population. In areas where the Per-Captia is higher, individuals have a greater impact on the environment, vice versa.
