> you have to get everyone to cut as much as they can
But the point being made isn't to emphasize the importance of everyone collaborating on cutting emissions. The point being made is that we may as well not cut back because someone else might not. It's especially disingenuous to bring up India when they emit less than the US does (and especially on a per-capita basis).

China is producing roughly all of our shit and like India is 1/6th of the global population.

Exactly, but the US accounts for 11% of emissions for 4% of the population. Maybe they have more fat to cut than others.
China is 30% of global emissions in 2023. India is 7%.
You can't get one country to stop all, so you have to get everyone to cut as much as they can.
