China and India
Interesting cases. Both developing nations, both now in the top 5
polluting nations.
However, they are the two largest nations by population.

So your typical inhabitant of China could double her CO2 emissions
and then double them again
and then double them again

and still produce 10% less CO2 pollution than a typical American.

Is CO2 emission from developing nations harmful? YES.
but the per capita emission from US citizens is 9 times more harmful
than from Chinese citizens, and 18 times more harmful than Indian
citizens, so surely you can see that we in the rich west nations have
the first responsibility to reduce emissions.
