Tigermike 3,025 Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 Kyoto signatories GHG emissions up 21% Posted by: McQ on Thursday, May 01, 2008 Neat little chart I found over at Willisms (it is based on the latest Index of Leading Environmental Indicators ( PDF ) it is particularly for those who continue to claim we're not doing our share of cleaning up the environment. ...during the last decade the United States has had the best record among industrialized nations in restraining GHG emissions. Between 1997 and 2004, the last year for which comparative data are available: -global GHG emissions increased 18 percent; -emissions from Kyoto Protocol participants increased 21.1 percent; -emissions from non-Kyoto nations increased 10 percent; -emissions from the United States increased 6.6 percent. I say to the rest of the world - and especially the Kyoto signatories - clean up your act first before demanding we do anything (of course I don't think we need to do anything, but I do love to rub such numbers ... well you get the idea). http://www.qando.net/details.aspx?Entry=8438 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
