US is not negligible. They are number 1 per capita.

China just had an astronomically high population. They will always be higher overall due to this.

An actual measurement of this needs to be performed capita.



Trump is going to reduce the USA's proxy-emissions in China if he pulls through on tariffs at least I guess.


If prices go up Americans will buy less.


No, the reverse. Tariffs Trump style mean that final goods get imported not intermediate so production moves away especially for the global market.


If the issue is emissions per capita then the solution is simply to increase the population faster than the increase in emissions.

Similar, countries with aging population will see an increase in emissions per capita regardless if they are actually decreasing emissions, as long the population loss is greater than emissions decreases.
