There’s a good post on DeSmogBlog listing the ten countries with the most per capita CO2 emissions. The United Nations study that the post links to is more comprehensive, but doesn’t organize the data in the nice “top 10” way that we short-attention-span web surfers enjoy.
Per capita, it is a pretty surprising result — of course, now that China is the largest gross emitter of C02, watch the White House rhetoric heat up over who is responsible for the global warming crisis.
You only have to clean up your own backyard as long as you are the dirtiest yard on the block is the tact the US will take now. Sadly.
Watch for some new forms of very subtle spin coming out of the White House in the coming months.
