USA (along with the rest of the western world) is a huge cumulative emitter:

But a distant second in per year emissions:

The EU, not listed here, sits between the US and India at about 3.05 billion tonnes.

It's all up to China, which took over a huge chunk of the world's manufacturing. And all up to us, buying Chinese products.

The cumulative emissions represent the PPM increase today. So that's a very relevant statistic. I don't know why you're ignoring it.

China also reduced their emissions last year while the US increased them. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45108292

Stop pointing fingers. Start working.

The EU isn't listed, because the EU is not a country.

Sorting the table by "per capita" is much more interesting IMHO.

figuring out who to blame is not the problem here, we need to figure out how to fix it.
