> Did you misspell "world" as "US" ?

No, at no point have I been discussing the whole world.

> Or are you dishonestly using non-representative figures?

No, but feel free to correct me if I made a mistake in my calculations.

Yes, this is my point. The US has a lot of land per person.

> and those men, women and children are extremely carbon-intensive.

Yes, but that has nothing to do with this conversation.
