&gt; India&#x27;s CO2 emissions are pittance compared to US, China and especially if you take the population into account.<p>Exactly.<p>India&#x27;s carbon emissions per capita are the <i>lowest</i> of all the countries listed here[0]; the US emits almost ten times as much per capita. That&#x27;s literally 2.3 times as much by volume, even though India has 1.2 billion people. (And the US isn&#x27;t even the top of the list - Australia is!)<p>For comparison, the EU emits four times as much carbon per-capita as India, which amounts to 1.5 times as much by volume (despite the EU&#x27;s small population of only 500,000,000).<p>China is often used as a bogeyman when it comes to the environment, but honestly, even China&#x27;s emits half as much carbon per-capita as the US does, and only a hair more than the EU does. They just have four times as many people as the US.<p>[0] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;List_of_countries_by_carbon_dioxide_emissions" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;List_of_countries_by_carbon_di...</a>
