Canada and US standard of living: ~ 16t/person

Now ONLY take India: Population of 1.3 billion(ish) Current levels of 1.8t/person. Give them the same standard of living as Canada/US and the increase in total MtCO2 is 19,000 MtCO2. That's adding more than half of the entire world right now.

China would add another 13,000 MtCO2 on top of that.

EDIT: The 1st world moving to things like electric cars and such are a good move. But the effect is all going to be just a tiny measurement error compared the the sheer mass and momentum of people and overpopulation.
