Maybe you should read the IPCC reports?
That's a lot to cover... I've learned so far that Russia is responsible for 4% of the world's CO_2 emissions, and that emissions in Russia and Ukraine have decreased fastest of all countries since 1990. That the USA is responsible for 28% of all emissions that have accumulated since the Industrial revolution, and that Russia has emitted 11%. Is there something specific you would like me to learn about?
In large part, it's simply a matter of scale and wealth concentration. If Canada was as large and wealthy as the USA, we'd probably all be cooked by now.
Climate change is not a risk to human survival. Please study the WG2 parts for the possible risks we're facing depending on when and how much action we take.
You're correct in that large parts of Russia don't have indoor toilets and proper sanitation. Not sure that's a positive.
