That is the opposite of what GP said. The point is only the total emissions matter, the climate does not care about "fair" allocations over either people or nation-states.

That's a pointless point, because any system to actually control emissions requires allocating them to nation-states, because it is nation-states that actually enforce things on people.

No, it's exactly what the GP said: per capita doesn't matter, it's just the size of the country.

So split the country up fixes the problem. Yes, it's dumb, but you agreed with it...
