Interestingly you're looking at the wrong column: emissions per million USD GDP have gone from 467 metric tons to 206 metric tons. That's an improvement of about 56%. It'd be great if the politicians here in the EU could pull their heads out of their arses long enough to try and match that.
Match in what way? The equivalent number for the EU is about 125 tons I believe.
Match in 'percentage reduced since 1995'. Fortunately we're gonna get a bit of a chance to catch up considering the USA's current leadership.
What are the equivalent numbers in the EU? Be sure to compare the same numbers. Usually they're in MtCO2e and not in MtCO2 like in that PDF.
EU is already 40% better than US, so why exactly are you implying it's worse?

Hyacinth Bucket has entered the chat.
Does this number include the outsourcing of production to Asia and to ship the products to the US?
No chance of that and I don't know where GP found that table but it most likely doesn't account for _any_ externalities.
