Meanwhile, the US gets away with merely “insufficient”, and the UK is apparently “almost sufficient”?

At least Canada is also “highly insufficient”, which yeah, as a Canadian, I couldn’t agree more.

Also, without delving into their methodology, something tells me that the biggest reason for these results is that they’re not considering or not sufficiently weighing population size/density or the fact that countries trade goods and services with each other (for example, the majority of China’s manufacturing is done exclusively for the West, so shouldn’t the carbon footprint of those be apart of the West and not China?) Just a hunch, but if true, it essentially invalidates their entire dataset because, get this, the world is not magically divided into discrete countries as far as the climate/environment is concerned!

    Yes. And they seem to be taking those promises at their word too, even for countries cough US cough that have failed to meet their own stated goals again and again.
