Still a ways to go but trending down for some time now. India and China are trending up and might cross us by 2030-2035 unless they reverse direction.

That's per capita. Total keeps increasing: https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/annual-co2-emissions-per-...

Per capita decreasing is not nothing, but unfortunately the climate doesn't care about that particular metric.

> Americans very consistently show the most emissions per Capita.

Even beyond that, it is simply a false statement. Among the most, yes but consistently "the most", no
