It sure looks like an interesting site. I find the intensity figures most rewarding. For instance, the United States has an intensity of 1,404 pounds of CO2 emitted per megawatt-hour of electricity produced while France's equivalent is 162 and Europe's average is 907. Comparing countries and companies is quite interesting and could spark public activism. But we should look towards a global political regime to replace the Kyoto Protocol.

So Dani, some of the interesting questions (and I have been hoping for a post on this issue for some time) are:
- What are the best political regimes to substantially cut greenhouse gas emissions: cap-and-trade, carbon tax, voluntary markets or something else?
- Should industrial countries go ahead since they are to blame for man-made global warming for the past 100+ years?
- Should developing countries begin stabilizing or even cut emissions since they will be important emitters in the coming decades, and how should this come about and what is the impact on their competitiveness and industrialization endeavors?

Andrzej

Dani!

Thanks for the info on this amazing but depressing website. I did not realize that Poland - the country where I was born - is such a big CO2 emitter. Now I also can see why it is so easy for Quebec to be such a lion of progress on the CO2 emissions front in Canada. With most of their power being CO2 free anybody could be a leader.

I wonder though if the calculations there take into account CO2 emissions caused by uranium mining and transportation in case of nuclear plants. And by the same token, CO2 emissions produced during coal, oil and gas mining and transportation in case of fossil fuel plants.

There should be a feature to rank countries/cities/regions in each of the categories. That would make for some interesting debates.

Andrzej,

I suspect the data isn't life-cycle emission data, but simple point of production emissions.

The give away is that solar energy is listed as having zero emissions. But over the life-cycle of producing solar energy, building the solar plant would obviously include material production and chemical processes which are energy consuming and emission intensive.

"There should be a feature to rank countries/cities/regions in each of the categories. That would make for some interesting debates."

Never mind. The feature's already there.

A few notes that may help folks understand global CO2 emissions’.

1. China is now the leader in CO2 output. According to the Netherland Environmental Assessment agency, China passed the US in CO2 output in 2006. Given that China’s growth rate is vastly higher than the US, China’s CO2 output will dwarf the US (and every other country) by 2015.

2. While it is certainly true that the major (traditional) industrial countries have been emitting CO2 for a long time, this turns out not to be significant. Pre-WWII emissions were actually quite low. 82% of all CO2 output has been since 1950.

3. The US is not a particularly high CO2 output nation. US CO2 output (2004) per PPP dollar (IMF WEO statistics) is 0.144 kilos. The world average is 0.139. kilos. The US is only 3.7% above the global mean.

Any ideas for carbon/energy-related regression project?
For my econometrics multivariate regression project, I figured I could find a topic idea by firstly looking at open-source, CO2-related data. After collecting a ton of carbon and energy-related data from the CDIAC, DoE, eia, and MANY other sources I still am nowhere. I'm now considering correlations between any of my variables and some income data of related companies.

timberland kids waterproof boots

One Sunday womens timberland boots morning, I was told that someone was waiting for me in timberland 6 boots office. The young person who answered the rectory timberland boots door said that it was "the woman who said she left all the notes." When I saw her mens timberland boots I was shocked, since I immediately recognized her from church but had no timberland boots outlet idea that it was she who wrote the notes. She was sitting in a chair in timberland roll top boots office with her hands folded in her lap. Her head was bowed and when she raised white timberland boots it to look at me, she could barely smile without pain. Her face was disfigured, and timberland classic boat skin so tight from surgical procedures that smiling or laughing was very difficult for her timberland kids waterproof boots . She had suffered terribly from treatment to remove the growths timberland shoes that had so marred her face. We chatted for a while that Sunday morning and agreed to meet for timberland womens premium boots lunch later that week. As it turned out we went to lunch several timberland boots women times, and she always wore a hat during the meal. I think that treatments of some timberland shoe company sort had caused a lot of her hair to fall out. We shared things about our lives. I told her about my women timberland shoes schooling and growing up. She told me that she had worked for timberland 6 inch years for an insurance company. She never mentioned family, and I did not ask. I have thought about her timberland mens custom often over the years and how she struggled in a society that places an incredible premium on looks, class, wealth and all the other fineries of life. She suffered from a disfigurement that cannot be made to look attractive. I know that her condition black timberland boots hurt her deeply. http://www.timberland6inch.com/
