There have been five previous mass extinction events (that we have evidence of) and the planet and life are still here. Planet doesn't care at all.
Per capita does matter because non-USA citizens are not going to voluntarily accept having a lower standard of living so USA citizens can keep their higher standard.
If the Chinese population consumed as much resources per capita as the USA it would take four planet earths to sustain us.

This is one place where tariffs are reasonable policy. Coal costs less than renewables but has a higher environmental cost. Products made using coal energy cost less because of this externalization/excess environmental cost. Tariff can be set to account for the environmental cost making goods produced with renewables price competitive with those produced with coal.

Fracking is the answer to, How can we poison our underground aquifer while continuing to put even more greenhouse gasses into the atmosphere? I guess when we're dead we won't need energy. Checkmate fracktheists?
