      I did, your link doesn’t account for the fact that much of the emissions in places such as China are a consequence of production of commodities that are consumed in the west. What matters is where the products are consumed as opposed to where they’re produced.

      Your own source shows the USA using more CO2 per capita than China in 2018, and Wikipedia shows the USA using more electricity per capita in 2019/2021. Where are you getting these stats from? The vibes factory?
