"Perhaps then you'd stop implying that's it's somehow the third world that's causing the problem by crowding us all out."

Perhaps you would care to show me where I implied that?

Perhaps you are following on from what a certain poster thinks I said.

For a supposed well educated scientist perhaps a little fact checking is in order before jumping to conclusions.
Had I wished to demonstrate per capita energy consumption by country I would have done so. It rather depends upon what point one is making.
For example the US 2011 used 7032kg equivalent of oil per capita, Bangladesh by contrast only 205kg.
This illustrates perfectly the point I made in a previous post:
"If the 80% in poverty were given a lifestyle to take them out of poverty co2 emissions would rise sharply."

To which the response came:
Now there's a thought starve the world to save it
I leave you to decide how that can possibly be derived from what I said previously. It would take us further forward if you can demonstrate any error in my logic. Energy is simply one of many metrics available to measure relative affluence/poverty.

Perhaps you would like a per capita energy consumption by ethnicity so you can then accuse me of racism?
