At the same time, we don’t get to talk down to or look down upon other countries who are doing less damage per-capita even as they (quite reasonably and entirely expectedly) seek to improve the living conditions of their people, even while making products (and the associated emissions) for our people to buy and outsource emissions counting to another country.

We’ve been burning coal for hundreds of years and around 150 to make electricity. To suggest that others should do much less than we did and continue to do is, IMO, unreasonable to the point of being absurd.
