Sounds like this: we are rich, we live a fat live, and we do not see a reason why we should stop that if the others could as well live with much less than we claim for ourselves. this is even more true since the US also is the greatest consumer of goods and of energy and production ressources, and the greatest producer of waste as well.

Living style is all what it all is about. And that is one of the reasons why climate scepticism is waged like a war with all dirty tricks and cheats possible.

It's a conflict of sheer material egoism and egocentrism. And of course the rich do not like to be told and being fingerpointed at.

In the end the fiugures stand: 21% of global CO2 polution made in america, 20% made in China. Just that China reaches that with almost four times as many people in population size. What makes their living style currently still being far more moderate, even compared to Germany. The average German still produces twice as much CO2 per year than a Chinese.

I was surprised to see France scoring so relatively low. i would have estimated them to rate higher, in the realm of Germany and the UK.
