china's population is roughly 40 times that of canada. yet it's emissions are only 16 times. another way to see this is to look at emissions per capita. china's is about 6. canada's is more than twice that, around 15. and, because we can only control our own behaviour, this is the right to way to look at the situation: we need to reduce our emissions per capita to a level that indicates we're doing our share, rather than polluting at two or three times the global rate.
