if total emissions are what matter, why do you place so much stress on individual lifestyle choices? you are effectively being a martinet and a taskmaster over forcing people to sort their plastics for collection every wednesday while new giant open-cast mines are opened every other week in the back-country to continue enriching your government.
the argument you keep resorting to, 'we need far less people', fully accords with your neo-malthusian, eugenicist bullshit. let's not actually examine the obscenely higher-than-average level of luxury you live in, the wastefulness of the suburbs, their unsuitability to the present century and its problems – let's not be honest at all, let's instead wave our hands and say 'there are far too many brown people and 700 million of them need to disappear in order to keep my conscience clear'.
obviously over-reliance on per capita statistics distorts the picture. but you don't seem to have any notion that we are all in this together and have to figure it out somehow. and suggesting a third of the human population painlessly and bloodlessly vanish is even less realistic than all the STEM tech-futurist boosters' claims that some new invention will magic-wand the problem away. not smart, actually !!!!
