But then you are not taking regional effects into account.
On the whole, yes. Per region, no!
One graph that shows CO
2 emissions per country:
(from
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_o...xide_emissions).
Population growth again:
It seems like pollution and population growth are inversely related - if you do a per country survey.
But I agree - being rich does not mean a high level of pollution per definition.
The level of industrialisation does.
That's why China scores so high and the oil countries in the middle east not so much.
It is not money on itself, it is what you do with it.
