UK has a higher population than Canada but had a lower rating on this scale. So that's not strictly true.

Not to mention India and China vs. the US

Total emissions would tell a different story but population is not the only factor here

A few of the dimwits I work with use china alot as a reason to not do anything about climate change because they keep building coal plants but... The coal plants they build are more efficient.

According to this chart the UK is doing well but we can still do better and we should keep doing more.
