11/11 The numbers don’t lie. If we truly want to tackle climate change, we must hold the biggest historical polluters accountable and support equitable climate solutions. Who do you think should bear the greatest responsibility for cutting emissions? Let’s discuss. ⬇️

10/11 In this video we can see how CO2 emissions per person have evolved since the 19th century. https://t.co/tALJZDVxti

9/11 Climate justice means acknowledging the historical responsibility of high-emission nations and ensuring that developing countries have the resources to grow sustainably—without paying for a crisis they didn’t create.

8/11 Yet, when discussing climate policies, Western leaders often pressure developing nations to cut emissions, while their own per capita emissions remain alarmingly high.

7/11 Even today, per capita emissions remain drastically unequal. For example, the average American emits nearly 14 times more CO₂ than the average Indian.

6/11 Climate agreements often push for “shared responsibility,” but this overlooks that wealthy nations have already overshot their fair share of carbon emissions. The Global South is asked to "go green" without the same historical benefits.

5/11 The Global North argues that today’s high emitters—like China and India—should take more responsibility. But this ignores the historical emissions that built the wealth of Western nations.

4/11 Meanwhile, developing nations, home to billions, have historically emitted far less CO₂ per capita. Yet, they're the ones most vulnerable to climate change.

3/11 For over a century, industrialized nations have pumped out CO₂ at staggering rates. The U.S., Canada, Australia, several European and, recently, some Middle Eastern countries have consistently led the charts in emissions per person.
