The US is absolutely nowhere near India's carbon emissions, nor China's. And none of the famously popular proposals such as Paris even address it. It's cool, they already serve as our garbage dumps and contain the toxic waste that fuels your iPhone. Just saying the USA isn't anywhere near the peak of the problem. |

in 2017, the US emitted 5Gt, the EU 3.5, and india 2.5. india's also got a billion more people than the US.
to make matters worse, these are attributional, not consumptive emissions. that is, if a US consumer orders a product made in india, the emissions from the creation of that product are attributed to india, and the emissions from shipping it are attributed to a global shipping counter. even though US demand and US consumption are responsible for those emissions, US emissions don't increase.
