Suggestion: Display % of parent's emissions

Problem Statement

When viewing the widget for a particular country/region, it's not easy to see how its emissions compare to the enclosing region's emissions.

For example, when viewing the breakdown for a state like Alabama in the US, I can see that Alabama has 1.49% of the country's population, and I can see that it emits 125MtCO2e, but it would be interesting to see at a glance how that compares to the national emissions. On the same front, while I can see how much the US emits as a whole and I can see its population as a share of earth's total, I cannot see its emissions as a share of the earth's total emissions.

Feature Description

In the Actor widget, display what percentage of the enclosing actor's emissions are the responsibility of this actor. i.e. What percentage of Earth's emissions is the United States responsible for?
