For sure, I've seen metrics before where they account for total cost of emissions based on consumption. I do think that's a more useful metric overall because at the end of the day it doesn't matter where emissions happen, the demand for goods is what's driving the emissions. So, if we want to reduce emissions meaningfully, we need to cut consumption. Focusing on domestic emissions also allows for games such as one Europe is playing where they're just outsourcing all their industry and then claiming to have cut emissions.
