We can see that emissions dropped during the Great Depression.
Poverty is the most effective way to reduce carbon emissions
Poverty is the most effective way to reduce carbon emissions
That's your takeaway? Srsly? In 2023 only 1% had indoor plumbing and electricity. If anything the takeaway should be that it has NOT necessarily much to do with poverty/qol.

The chart takes a nosedive right around the time when US industry began moving to China.

I don't see anything about this in the source.
There is a section where they attempt to correct for emissions from production of goods imported/exported.
But this chart doesn't attempt to correct for that...
