i think some of the gulf states beat us but oil refining is cheating tbh

e: as of the latest figures, we're 8th behind titans of industry like kuwait, brunei, qatar, belize, oman, and bahrain. we're ahead of the uae, saudi arabia, and both canada and the us.

Also if you add up all the countries that emit "only" 2% or less you have something like 30% of global emissions. Bump it up to 5% and you get somewhere around half.

The most insightful thing I've read about the conservative attitude toward climate change is that some time in the near future they will seamlessly transition from climate "skepticism" to climate fascism as the crisis really ramps up.

It's already happening. It was in the Christchurch shooter's manifesto. It will be mainstream soon.
What is the history of capitalism and colonialism but creating and maintaining a division between the first world and the third? We've had centuries of training in how not to give a poo poo when people outside our borders die.

Not to mention that western nations have outsourced their manufacturing to "developing nations" like China so that they take the blame for those emissions. And then at the same time Australia's economy is heavily dependent on exporting resources to China. Love that neo-colonial mindset.

My sister's fiance was saying a while back that climate change was real but it'd "primarily affect people in developing nations" and it's not like we could make much of a difference.

It's so... Defeatist. And deluded - even if Australia mysteriously remains relatively stable (it won't), do they seriously think people are going to stay put and die quietly once their home country becomes completely uninhabitable? They'll move.

Countries have gone to war over far less, I can totally see the intersection of crop failures and equatorial countries becoming uninhabitable for some of the year causing world war 3.

I mean, I feel like a crank for saying it, but I don't think I'm wrong.

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.
Personally i think the Dustbowl was a climate science hoax too.

Also, there are almost 200 countries in the world, so any one country with more than 0.5% emissions is already over-represented.
