Good news for China, bad news for US. But don't forget China still emit 16B compared to US who emit 6B tons of CO2

Emissions impact the whole world, not only the country that emit them. And the relevant metric is not per country, but per inhabitant in this country.

Not really. Otherwise, US could slash its "relevant metrics" by annexing Nigeria.

And China could slash the metrics you believe are "relevant" by dividing into 20 countries. It's time to stop talking and start doing. China is doing.
