World wars then, climate change now - both the biggest challenges facing mankind in their respective eras so the comparison is valid.
With 0.5% of the world's population and producing 1.66% of the world's emissions we are one of the nations with the highest per capita emissions - you can't deny that. When we are talking about the problems caused by man made GHG emissions and how to address that problem of course we talk about per capita emissions - it makes no sense to talk about geographical size of the country.
If you're in favour of moving to a per acre basis to quantify emissions are you also in favour of splitting the total federal taxation burden by the acre or do you prefer it to be per person?
