I don’t think most people are trying to reduce emissions to improve the view of their region from space.

Most people are focusing on, you know, the carbon emissions which are heating the planet, and the downstream effects from the changes that incurs?

Emission levels per capita is absolutely a better metric than “the view from space”. It’s perhaps a bit misleading— should the emissions from China that go to making disposable shit for europe and North America be attributed to their production or our consumption? (Obviously China should own the fraction for their own domestic consumption regardless)

But yeah, the emissions per capita is a good metric even if my country doesn’t look good in it. Because even if you’re fooling yourself with this view from space nonsense you’re not fooling anyone else
