You're right that some areas are impacted more by climate change, but that's not correlated with the areas that emit more CO2. In other words: local emissions don't determine local warming.

I really don't think that's true, or at least, it's not as clear-cut as you are asserting. There is at least healthy debate about the issue and it is definitely not a closed case of "local emissions don't determine local warming". As far as I can tell, local emissions do relate to increased local warming. Here's a source https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/can-carbon-dioxid...
