I'm not sure you're wrong here, but how would one discuss emissions patterns / practices for a specific country without naming that country?

The issue is more that brief, tendentious comments on charged topics with charged phrases ("red herring", "they need to", "climate justice") tend flameward.

There's nothing wrong with mentioning the name of a country in a more substantive/nuanced context.
