@pixie@social.yesterweb.org @kathhayhoe@fediscience.org I don't believe the atmosphere distinguishes between per capita and national, so I've never really bought that justification. I also don't believe in the idea that any nation is entitled to an empire. Yes, China was once a great imperial power who colonized their region and then fell, and was subsequently abused by another imperial power. But to say they are therefore entitled to a new empire is the same logic the zionists use for what they are doing in occupied Palestine.
