best are those complaining about china and the fast rising carbon dioxide emission there. first of all, the chinese are still way behind europe and america per capita and second problem is that the emission there is growing so fast because we europeans and americans buy more and more from there...if we want to stop it we shouldn't buy a smartphone build in china every week anymore, we should buy one only every third week...(yeah that wasn't serious you know what i mean)
most of the times we calculate the emission per country. sometimes we divide it by population to calculate the emission per capita. this is ok, it's better than just looking at the whole emission but most don't calculate the "carbone dioxide consume". countries without industry say "haha we are so green" but if you look at what their population is consuming you find out that a rich country without own emission is one of the most responsible for carbone dioxide emission if they calculate what other countries had to emit to produce the product for the rich countries population.
but i bet a government will never say "13% of china's emission is because of us"
