    I mean the only argument you need is comparing the emissions per capita of Germany to France or Sweden.

      Why not Poland, Netherlands, or Belgium?

      Obviously, if you compare countries without heavy industry to countries with heavy industry and ignore all context such as Germany also providing electricity to France when their reactors need to shut down again, claims are easy to make. Those claims don’t hold any water but people like the French can pat themselves on the back for successfully chasing away much heavy industry to China and Poland and let other countries count towards rising emissions because French reactors can’t run in hot summers.
