That's surprising. I didn't realize China was #1 in aggregate CO2 emissions. Of course... per capita, the US is still like 3x China from the look of it.

- jacquesm 14y ago> per capita, the US is still like 3x China from the look of it. For now. Check the relative growth of both countries.
- dredmorbius 14y agoChina growing at 13.9% pa puts it as doubling CO2 output every 5 years. The US's 7% decline is likely an artifact of the coal -> natural gas transition, but if sustained would see the country halving use in a decade.
