So, yeah, bullshit map
The source of the map says "National Cumulative", this why I said I think it means historical emissions and not emissions of today. Also, a more just way to measure it would be for consumption, not emissions, a lot of the emissions generated on china is generated on the manufacturing of consumers goods to be used on the first world.
