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

    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.

              dude you’re such a huge asshole. USA! USA! USA! keep building multi-decade lifespan LNG shipping infrastructure for your “bridge fuel” and suppressing cheap green energy.

              Keep electing leaders paid for by fossil fuel companies

              USA! USA! #1

                  True I should thank you for teaching me that per capita statistics are useless for comparing nations.

                  You should go public with this information

                    True I should thank you for teaching me that per capita statistics are useless for comparing nations.

                    any single piece of statistic presented without context can be used to manipulate, as you did in this case, knowingly or not.

                    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.

                    these people living in rural areas will ultimately also want to participate in the booming economy, it is just a matter of time. so it is better to look at trends rather than some number fixed in time. and how does the trend look like?

                    You should go public with this information

                    oh don’t worry, it is public information, they teach it in schools.
