A classic example of drawing wrong conclusions from data. A "first world" lifestyle creates more "emissions" than living in a yurt. If the guy in the yurt moves to New York and buys a car, that increases the problem.

On the other hand, if the guy in the yurt moves to the capital city of his own country and buys a car, it's the same thing.

It's not where he lives, it's the car. And the hot tub, gas grill, TV set, and not dying at forty like he's supposed to.

Right now emissions are being driven far more by second and third world countries ramping up their lifestyles than by immigration into our country. In recent years, world poverty and the associated misery has dropped like a rock.
