Who do you mean "we"? Look at the evolution of CO2 emisions in the past 40 years by region.

In good faith I cannot see an argument here, it's either
Region X was first and reduced their emissions 10-20% so it's fine and it's region Y that's the problem, or
Region X is fine because they have less people, region Y should reduce even though they already have a fraction of per-capita emissions
Both seem like pretty shitty arguments
I think "we" refers to "we human beings". That chart looks pretty similar to population growth by world region (with the notable exception of Africa). https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/population-regions-with-p...
Oh hell yeah, EU is doing something right! I fear to think how the US stats have changed. And China is… alarming.
Some people always try to push the blame onto someone else...
now look at it measured from consumption per capita ...
WE buy stuff that WE oursourced to Asia and then WE blame them for producing it. WE also set the standard of living that is unsustainable if everybody on Earth achieve it.
What's your problem with the "we" word, again?
Asia is producing all of our shit. Also: https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/cumulative-co-emissions
I find that the per capita graph is more informative https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/co-emissions-per-capita?t...
