The federal government is proposing financial incentives for farmers in lieu of cutting enteric methane emissions that are released in the air when cows burp.

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?
