A bigger country has more industry.
Spain is bigger, has more industry and pollutes more than Portugal for example and it’s “normal” (as normal as destroying the environment is).
And pretending the end consumer doesn’t bare any responsibility is dishonest.

But it’s not mostly people who are doing most of the polluting, it’s industry. That has nothing to do with population size.

China doesn’t have to allow that manufacturing.
