Germany has 15 million people more than France, the next most populous European country. It is hardly surprising they produce more carbon dioxide. India will surpass Germany unless the degrowthers get their way and condemn Indians to permanent poverty which doesn’t look likely.
There is no need for poverty there, but there's the case for massive deployment of renewables. China shows it can be done from scratch without getting poor.
That is not happening. Indian government also tends to look aside when other polluting industries - mostly textile - are involved.
