These seem odd for some reason. like India with no goods carbon seems wrong? Canadian transport I expect as high due to the expanse of the country.

It's per capita, so India's consumer spending of $2T (Macrotrends) is split by 1.42B pop, so $1,282 per capita.

Canada is $1.2T for 33M pop. $26,333 per capita, or 20 times greater than India.

I am not surprised at all that India's goods consumption per capita is a rounding error.

I didn't think this was spending, I thought this was carbon production per category, and india produces a lot

I assumed it was consumption, and used spending as a facsimile for it.

Why should SE Asia pay the carbon bill for the West's consumption?
