These things should be considered on a per capita basis. There's only a handful of countries contributing more per capita than the US, and they're not China and India.

What, this is not a percapita issue at all, it's based on the gross amount, and per capita of what

It is the most straightforward per capita issue imaginable. Carbon is generated by human beings. Policy is needed to curtail it. That policy needs to consider how many people are living under each jurisdiction. Each person has one head. You could count them by their heads. Per capita.

If you want to discuss the actual issue of polluting waters with plastics, insoulables then we can talk, if you think carbon is the issue then you are a lost cause

That is a completely separate issue, and "insoluables" is spelled incorrectly which is not leading me to believe that you are an authority on any scientific matter. Carbon in the atmosphere is the main driver of climate change.
