Voilà, c’est fait. En ce 15 mars, le Canada a déjà consommé l’ensemble des ressources naturelles renouvelables que la Terre peut lui fournir en une année pour ne pas puiser dans ses réserves. Sortez les bulles… et jetez-les aux poubelles après en avoir bu une gorgée !
I understand percentages. But in your example of addicts, it’s the number of people that counts in my book, not whether or percentage is lower.
I also understand that more people, pollute more, absolutely. So to think that our small population needs to make a significant effort to reduce pollution , which is absolute, is a guilt reaction.
It is certainly one way to compare. But in terms of global change, absolute numbers must be considered. No matter hours many people there are, we all breathe the same air. With more people in the area, there’s more pollutants in the air, whether it’s per capita or not. So while it may be logical to compare per capita, it’s not really the practical reality.

The only logical way to compare countries’ climate progress is per capita…
