The following headilines are both correct. Which would you choose to
use in the context of Kyoto discussions ,to be fair ?
**************************************************
China emissions to exceed US by 2010?
Chinese per capita emissions to reach 1/4 of US levels in 2010?
*****************************************************
Should we think of emissions in per country or per person terms?
Chinese greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions will soon overtake US,
emissions on a per country basis.
However, on a per capita basis China is well behind the US.
China's total historical GHG emissions represent 7.8%% of world
emissions . While the US's total historical GHG emissions represent
27,8%% of world emissions.
Historical GHG's are measured between 1750 and 2005
