    Then why compare countries? Countries defined by arbitrary lines are just that. If you want to compare by arbitrary lines, then correct comparison would be to to compare a District in India and entire Australia. You could lower emissions of any country by splitting it into smaller pieces. You can reduce Australia’s emissions even more by declaring that every Australian is a separate country, every David, John, Peter in Australia will have many times lower emissions than entire country of India, consisting 1.3 billion people.

          sorry you’re typing words but it’s super confusing

          why are we declaring every australian is a separate country?

              right but whether they like it or not they are within the governance of Australia and thus are covered by the policy direction of the government of Australia, elected democratically by the people of Australia, to continue the culture and work ethic and the desires of the people within the country and the laws and trade deals we have with other countries

            Because it doesn’t make sense to compare total emissions from 1.3 billion people with total emissions from 27.4 million people. 1.3 billion >>>>> 27.4 million.

                We should split up Australia and give the land to the Indians. Only that will be fair for greater responsibility they bear.

                    I like how you are revealing your racist ideology after I debunked your initial numbers, statistics & logic and also showing your lack of knowledge and intelligence (obviously a racist will be always a dumb fck, Nazis were uncivilised for a reason). A little study of history, geography and economics is always helpful. But can’t expect anything from a racist minded nazi.

                    why punish us for something we didn’t do?

                    May be look into your history of how the country of Australia has foundation of genocide, it’s like if Nazi Germany had lived up to claim moral superiority.

        Countries defined by arbitrary lines are just a group of arbitrary number of people.

            Nah, most countries these days are defined by arbitrary lines drawn by colonisers. And it still doesn’t matter. 1.3 billion >>>>> 27.4 million. 1.3 billion people will always have much more total emissions because it is 47 times more number of people. In fact, for India to maintain same lifestyle as any Australian, they will need to far more amounts of energy consumption and hence emissions than currently and they have far far less of it. May be we should split up Australia and give that land so they get equal amount of land resources allocated.

            Now, also show me which countries are building largest amount of solar energy farms, nuclear energy, wind and so on and tell me why are others not doing it. And then also show me the commutative emissions of the arbitrarily defined countries over last 100 years. Development is not a privilege of some specific people.
