Re: India-US relations: News and Discussions IV
exactly. all stats should be per capita. that will blow those stoopid OECD/non- out of the water even if one assumes that their projections are not motivated and self-serving. True , all milestones should be on per-capita not per country. That's an easy way for OECD countries to continue pollution!
