To your last point, there was a study going around a few years back that something like 70% of all emissions come from 100 companies, iirc. Also, the organization that produces the most emissions in the world is the US military which is larded right into the US average.
Curbing energy usage in the industrialized world should definitely come first. In the US, you'd have to decommission a lot of the military, eliminate the cruise industry entirely, shorten consumer good supply chains, get people out of cars, eliminate most domestic flights, do a massive rail build out, and more. The US is perfectly designed to emit carbon.
US & Canadian residents are much less efficient on average, a lot of it's due to the low density built environment which obviously doesn't excuse it, but it's not something that the average person there can do anything about.
Oopsie. (not the worst oil spill but :yea:)
Renewable energy is communism :frothingfash:

Also the military and industrial agriculture
Reducing energy consumption wouldn't even be hard. Modern society is enormously wasteful
