You should learn a little more about the GHG emissions and role of Australia in the world before making such a conjecture.

Basic understanding of maths wouldn't be bad either.

Australia has a relatively small population for the land mass and is also responsible for a large portion of mining goods for the world (china for example). Also we export a lot of beef (the cows are probably the leading producers of GHG in australia which isnt even taken into account).

A similar plant producing similar quantities of product in america would yield the same output of GHG but would look far less impactful per capita.

Power consumption of citizens is a very small part of it, and overall out impact is fairly minimal compared to other global powers (not too sure how much the cows produce but I expect its a lot).

There was actually a petition against the culling of rampant flatulent camels in the centre of australia recently.
