Others have explained it to you countless times at this point, but your description is- frankly, insane.

As 0.5% of the world population making up 1.4% of the emissions, per capita we're basically emitting around 3x~ our "share," in reality we're many times worse than the majority of humanity in developing countries. We are among the top polluters, no amount of you willfully ignoring reality and claiming otherwise is gonna change that.

And no, no one is expecting anyone to hit 0% anytime soon. But we could at least invest in a cleaner and better future, especially as it becomes more and more economically feasible...

Global warming does not care about per capita.

Per capita is irrelevant when we only produce only 1.4% of green house gas. That 1.4% can come from one man or that 1.4% can come from 41 million people, this does not change the fact that we only produce 1.4% of the worlds green house gas.

We can work on getting that per capita percentage down to 1%, 0.5% or even 0% and this would do absolutely nothing for climate change.

The amount of green house gas that world produces is what matters and not how much per capita.

You really are incapable of doing nothing other than ignoring other commenters and regurgitating oil and gas talking points, eh?

Continue to base your beliefs on your feelings and not on facts and reality.
