By this logic, why shouldn't you destroy The Falklands instead? It's not a county, so what is it?


But we've blowed up Argentina, so might as well keep the Falklands.

US emits much more greenhouse gases per capita.


Qatar is the highest CO2 polluter per capita.

Even Australia is worse per capita than America.

It's normal for small countries to have much higher per capita emission.
Europe: Russia, Putin can just **** off

Asia: North Korea (obvious)

Oceania: Probably Tahiti or somewhere tiny like that (nothing on this continent anyway kek.)

Africa: DR Congo (again, obvious)

N.America: Mexico (The other two countries on this continent are effective trading partners, sorry Mexico :frown: )

S.America: Venezuela (because **** socialism.)

Not that normal. UAE has a similar population to Belgium and per capita emissions are 2.4x higher.

Oh and Australia = not small....

North America has more three countries: Guatemala, El Salvador, Belize, Honduras, Nicaragua, Panamá, Costa Rica are all on the continent, plus more than a handful of island nations (including Cuba), and overseas territories of other countries such as Denmark and the UK.

It is. Every country needs an industry, more people dilute the per capita average.

Australia is miniscule compared to US and China.

Destroying one of Her Majesty's realms?

Treason.

I just compared Belgium (pop 11m) to UAE (pop 9m). Despite having a similar sized population the UAE is 2.5x worse per capita than Belgium.

So? They're both small countries, what's your point?
Destroying USA alone is sufficient.

You said "It's normal for small countries to have much higher per capita emission."

I just showed it's not normal.
North America: USA
South America: Argentina
Asia: Saudi Arabia
Europe: Germany
Africa: Ghana
Oceania: Guam
Antarctica: Penguins
The Philippines are in Asia, not Oceania.

Yes small countries compared to bigger ones... (by big countries I mean around 50m+ population)

That doesn't mean every small country has higher per capita emissions

Normality is not established by exceptions, but the norm.

The countries with the highest carbon emission per capita are as follow:

1. Qatar
2. Trinidad and Tobago
3. Curacao
4. Kuwait
5. Bahrain
6. Dutch Sint Maarten
7. Brunei Darussalam
8. Luxembourg
9. UAE
10. Saudi Arabia
11. United States
12. Australia
13. Oman
14. Gibraltar
15. Kazakhstan
16. Estonia
17. New Caledonia
18. Mongolia
19. Canada
20. Turkmenistan

It's quite clear whether it's normal for smaller countries, especially those in the Middle East, to have a high per capita carbon emission.

You can of course disprove this by averaging the number for all small countries, as that'd be another norm.
Hell why not get rid of the entire world while we're at it!
