The Copenhagen Climate Summit is bringing to light the comparisons of China's GHG emissions vs. the U.S.'s GHG emissions. There is now a website dedicated solely to China, their emissions, and their impact on climate change. This brings the question: Does the U.S. have such a website?
Regardless (not the topic of this post, just something it brought to mind), there is a fountain of information there. Legal Planet brought this up in one of their blog posts. One of the things they brought up was looking at both U.S. and China's transportation and manufacturing contributors.
China looks like they've surpassed the U.S. in GHG emissions but who's to blame? Is it China for following our lead in development strategy? Or is it the U.S.'s obsession with cheap, plastic, lead filled toys? Whatever the case, it's clear that China and the U.S. need to work together to set an example for GHG reduction to the rest of the world.
