What is the impact on the biosphere of a single person born in the West? Isn’t it something absurd like, detonating a nuclear bomb or two?

i dont know about that figure. It’s certainly more than the average third world individual, but then again i believe third world countries are some of the most polluting out there based on the resource extraction, so while the individual may not create a shit ton of pollution, all that mining sure does create a lot.
