Fuck right off.
Pretty sure is historical emissions data. China and India have like 20 years of emissions, that are still pretty low when accounting by per capita or by "imported emissions"*, while United States and Europe have been producing carbon emissions for more that a century now.
* imported emissions are emissions caused by industry that is going to export the products to be consumed elsewhere.
China? 20 years? They started mass producing crap for North America in the 80s.
So I suppose we share some of that responsibility, but it’s been a lot longer than that.
I believe this map is made essentially as an amalgamation of all the years in this gif. It might make more sense to you if you observe it like that.
Ascription of historical and collective guilt, and how to do it, if at all, is a separate topic, but the underlining data is correct.
No. I think both India and China are responsable for -2 thousand billion million pollution points.

So, yeah, bullshit map
The source of the map says "National Cumulative", this why I said I think it means historical emissions and not emissions of today. Also, a more just way to measure it would be for consumption, not emissions, a lot of the emissions generated on china is generated on the manufacturing of consumers goods to be used on the first world.
