> In terms of your claim that "western countries have reduced carbon emissions" it is important to realize that increasingly developed countries have been outsourcing most of their high polluting industries. https://www.vox.com/energy-and-environment/2017/4/18/1533104...

If you attribute to the US all the emissions that were outsoureced to other counties, the US has still reduced it's per-capita emissions: https://ourworldindata.org/consumption-based-co2

It's still way higher than India, but the claim that we've achieved the drop via outsourcing is wrong.
