That's fine and agreed, but my point still stands that per capita based on some arbitrary borders is not a meaningful measure to the entire Earth's climate.

per capita is precisely the opposite of arbitrary; it's carbon per person.

It is arbitrary. Most carbon emissions are from industry, and the population size isn't directly linked to industry.
