5 logical fallacies in 10 words that's a pretty good score!
Be fair - I actually count at least 8. That's impressive af for 10 words.

Red herring, whataboutism, false dilemma, straw man, tu quoque, hasty generalization, moral equivalence, and appeal to extremism.

And with a dehumanization cherry on top.

Perhaps listing fallacies without adressing the core concern isn't the WINNING strategy you hoped it would be.
My core concern is that you feel comfortable talking about "removing" countries.

My secondary concern is your refusal to acknowledge/engage with the data which was presented to you, both in text and in interactive graphs.

And that's more than enough concern for me to refuse further engagement.

Hang on, what exactly tf do you mean by "remove"?

... Also, yes, the West is responsible for the vast majority of CO2 release. It's not remotely close [0].

* The United States has emitted more CO2 than any other country to date: at around 400 billion tonnes since 1751, it is responsible for 25% of historical emissions [at 4% of world population].

* This is twice more than China – the world’s second-largest national contributor [18% of world population].

* The 28 countries of the European Union (EU-28) – which are grouped here as they typically negotiate and set targets on a collaborative basis – is also a large historical contributor at 22%.

* Many of the large annual emitters today – such as India and Brazil – are not large contributors in a historical context.

* Africa’s regional contribution – relative to its population size – has been very small. This is the result of very low per capita emissions – both historically and currently.
