Australia can drop their emissions by 100% and it would make little difference if top polluters like China and India keep pumping out record amounts of air and plastic pollution every year.
Why focus on the countries that produce the least amount of pollution while ignoring the ones that produce the most? It has to be the most counterproductive approach to stopping a problem in world history. We live in đ¤Ąworld.

Australia is the highest per capita polluter.

No it isnât it is #13, we can do better but that is a blatant lie. Australia is just and I mean just ahead of the US and Canada.

I donât know shit. My bad for taking the Guardianâs word for it.
Edit: I meant in terms of coal but I just had surgery and didnât properly look up the static I was referring to until just now. Feeling much less goofy now thanks.

Definitely, that is only of a select group of countries. As per usual terrible cherry picked journalism.

Thatâs fine mate we can do better and are making massive strides but donât need false stats. The state I live in is carbon neutral and even sales of new cars have been banned ACT. A small area admittedly but itâs a step in the right direction.

I donât think we are âignoringâ US and China, the top two polluters in the world. Thereâs many articles about how US and China can do better, and it doesnât hurt to have an article about how Australia can do better

Exactly! Why should China do anything, India will still be emitting CO2. And why should India do anything, the US will still be emitting CO2. And why should the US do anything...(reclusive loop detected)
