Did you misspell "world" as "US" ? Or are you dishonestly using non-representative figures? The US has a much smaller proportion of the developed world's men, women and children than it does the land, and those men, women and children are extremely carbon-intensive.

No, at no point have I been discussing the whole world.

> Or are you dishonestly using non-representative figures?

No, but feel free to correct me if I made a mistake in my calculations.

> The US has a much smaller proportion of the developed world's men, women and children than it does the land

Yes, this is my point. The US has a lot of land per person.

> and those men, women and children are extremely carbon-intensive.

Yes, but that has nothing to do with this conversation.
