Sure the US is larger, but climate doesn't care if a ton of CO2 is produced by a small or a large country.

You have any per-capita numbers? How about per-square-kilometers?

Per capita electric power usage is twice as high in the US as in Germany.

Per capita CO2 emission is twice as high in the US as in Germany.

(depends on people of course, I never owned a car and I never bought electricity from coal plants, my parents did and I moved out when I was 18)

"How about per-square-kilometers?"

Not sure what that metric would be useful for? Can you give me an idea?

I would be interested in the metric "sum ton CO2 per capita" from 1945 to 2024 (Or 1871 when Germany was founded, or 1949 when Germany got its constitution)?
