Per capita doesn't mean nearly as much as total. If the countries above the US were instead on par or below the US as it relates to totals, we wouldn't have the same issue we have now.

If the US went to zero we also wouldn't have the same issue as we have now.

Why should the US be entitled to pollute the world while everyone else has to live without any confort?

Per capita, the us murders 0.2 people per 10k persons, ~350million total population.

Per capita, china murders 0.15 persons per 10k people, ~1.4billion people.

Who murders more people?

Rich people are fine with poor countries staying that way, as long as it doesn't impact their lifestyle somehow.
