Militarily, Russia would be the only one that could realistically put all of those countries in check, but it would probably mean nuclear war and on that front, we all lose anyway you look at it.
Russia is the 4th largest producer of c02

Doing the blame America game makes no sense. Canada and Australia produce the same C02 per capital. Because they also are large spread out countries with heavy transportation needs, like the US.

These are 2015 numbers. I couldn't find anything newer and didn't spend a great deal of time looking.
These values are in million metric tons of CO2
China 9000 million metric tons = 9 billion
US about 5000
India 2000
Russia 1500
I think if you add up all the countries in the European Union, you'll get a number higher than Russia.
Canada 550
Australia 380
In a cold hearted world, nuking China & the US, wiping them out completely would decrease CO2 output by 14 billion metric tons.
And the nuclear winter might help cool the planet down a bit.
If I'm thinking it, you know other world leaders are too.
