Emissions impact the whole world, not only the country that emit them. And the relevant metric is not per country, but per inhabitant in this country.

Not really. Otherwise, US could slash its "relevant metrics" by annexing Nigeria.
And China could slash the metrics you believe are "relevant" by dividing into 20 countries. It's time to stop talking and start doing. China is doing.
Except that does make sense because the new country would be the weighted average of the average CO2 contribution for both Americans and Nigerians.
Clearly, that means annexing Nigeria is the best way for US to reduce its GHG emissions.
Just add poor people to your country! Per capita emission metrics HATE this one weird trick!
