No. It's a canard, a wild goose chase, a red herring... Thanks to Kurzgesagt. They did a great video essay at : "Who Is Responsible For Climate Change? – Who Needs To Fix It?" [VIDEO] Also Goodheart's law: [LINK]

Or perhaps the argument is more complicated than the OP suggests. Perhaps you and they should watch the Kurzgesagt video made in conjunction with Our World in Data (linked on OP's linked page): [VIDEO]

Kurzgesagt has a good video called "Who Is Responsible For Climate Change? – Who Needs To Fix It?": * [VIDEO] There are multiple view points. The country with the largest current annual total emissions is China with 27-30% and the US with 15% (see 2m10s). The country that produced the most CO2 in total historically which got us to this point of climate change (see 3m30s), were US first at 25% of historical emissions, and the EU in second at 22%, and China in third with 13% of historical emissions. India, all of Africa, and all of South America each had 3% of historical emissions. Then there's per capita emissions (see 5m10s of the video). So which of these three metrics should be used? Or should it be some other metric or a combination? Also probably worth noting that China seems to have peaked in coal plants. They've built too many already, but hopefully it should be going down now.
