Don’t see how that would make sense. Comparing the emissions of China vs that of Iceland just doesn’t make sense.

We can talk about total global emissions, but then bring it down to the total per capita contribution per country. e.g. China has 20% of the worlds population so are “allowed” 20% of the worlds total emissions.

Careful there. That would incentivize unscrupulous nations to breed vast populations and keep them barely alive in cages, just to be "allowed" more emissions.
That's quite the jump.
