this has nuance and far too many times the point is not getting got. First the numbers: If you look at total emissions, India emitted around 2.62 billions tonnes in 2019 (fossil fuel and cement production emissions, agriculture excluded, see source cited for more information). For context, China came in 1st with 10.17 billion tonnes, then came the US emitted 5.28 billion tonnes in the same year, and in third place came India with the aforementioned amount.^(\[1\]) That being said, some countries have bigger populations than others, and it makes sense that a country with a massive population, much of which lives poor, developing regions would emit more greenhouse gases, and the data supports this. Per capita, India emitted 1.84 tonnes per capita, far lower than the global average of 4.73 tonnes per capita. However averages can be deceptive as they do not portray inequality. We do not know if it's the whole Indian population emitting an average, or a small minority pumping out a massive amount of carbon dioxide while the rest of the population isn't really emitting much. As a short aside, the same does not apply to China, which sits above the global average at 6.86 tonnes per capita.^(\[1\]) Europe as a continent sits at 7.54 tonnes per capita, on average, and the US sits at 16.16 tonnes per capita. In terms of cumulative emissions, Europe and the US lead, primarily due to their long and industrial pasts. Europe as a continent sits at 514 billion tonnes, and the US sits at 400 billion. India sits at 46.73 billion tonnes and China at 200 billion. Over the past 50 years, Europe has added 316 billion tonnes, the US has added 245 billion tonnes, China 189 billion and India 42.35 billion. Since 2000 China is at the top with 127 billion tonnes emitted, followed by Europe at 103 billion, and the US at 97 billion, with India emitting 28 billion. This is going to be a hard pill to swallow for some, but the truth is that western nations still emit a fuckton of greenhouse
