Pretty sure is historical emissions data. China and India have like 20 years of emissions, that are still pretty low when accounting by per capita or by "imported emissions"*, while United States and Europe have been producing carbon emissions for more that a century now.
* imported emissions are emissions caused by industry that is going to export the products to be consumed elsewhere.
China? 20 years? They started mass producing crap for North America in the 80s.
So I suppose we share some of that responsibility, but it’s been a lot longer than that.
