Where does this leave Russia which is almost twice as big and Canada which is
only slightly bigger? And China is less than 1% larger than USA.

Population-wise China is the largest, but India is not that far behind.

Climate Change doesn't care about per capita.

Climate change doesn't care about which country either.

I agree with the fact that China and India need to focus on their emissions,
but it seems ridiculously convenient for someone from a western country to ask
a couple billion people to reduce their emissions while they themselves will
find every opportunity to reduce their own accountability.

FYI - A US per capita emission is almost 20 times more than that of India.
