oh, cool. manipulation by carefully selecting statistisc that will support my theory 😂

first, there is a lot more to “being good/better for the world” than co2 emissions per capita.

with that out of hand, lets look at few others, shall we?

How is it appropriate to make comparisons between nations without normalizing for the population?

Frankly, accusing me of manipulation makes me no longer care what you have to say. You can fuck off.

when you have big part of country that is rural and don’t participate in generating the emissions and profiting from them, then including them in the total count to artificially decrease final per capita number is just manipulation.

but my point here was you carefully selected one graph and presented it without context to support incorrect conclusion. but you know that, right?

Frankly, accusing me of manipulation makes me no longer care what you have to say. You can fuck off.

so you have no rebuttal to graphs i showed you, so you are suddenly not talking to me. that’s understandable, whatever exit strategy works for you, clown…

You’re here being an asshole with a chip on your shoulder so I’m giving you the same energy. Comparing the total output of a 2 billion pop nation with a nation 20% of that size is a pretty dumb way to compare statistics and the progress of a country’s green transition.

I can’t give you a stats curriculum on lemmy when you are also being a huge dick.

Recommended actions to cut greenhouse gas emissions in the near future:

Anti-science, inactivism, and unsupported conspiracy theories are not ok here.
