I keep reading that #China (murderous dictatorship) is the world's biggest carbon emitter per nation. This is true but irrelevant. The number we should look at is carbon emissions *per capita*. Here are the top ten in 2023:
* Palau
* Qatar
* Kuwait
* Brunei
* New Caledonia
* Bahrain
* United Arab Emirates
* Trinidad and Tobago
* Gibraltar
* Saudi Arabia
It's the Arabian peninsula, people. China is doing better than Canada, Russia, Australia and the US.
