Unfortunately per capita doesn’t matter regarding effects of climate change. It’s the absolute numbers.

The marginal effect of removing Australia’s emissions is like a rounding error in the climate equation.

Yes, for the world, and not per country. Otherwise it'd be "better" for the world if larger countries just split into many smaller ones.
