USAToday “Global Carbon Levels Spiraling”

An article in today’s USAToday, on the front page, talks about global warming.  Carbon dioxide emissions are over three times the rate of that in the 1990s.  [Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences].  As we’ve discussed, carbon dioxide is a major greenhouse gas contributor to global warming.  Carbon intensity has increased since 2000 in China, and possibly stalled elsewhere if I understand this correctly?  Each time I hear about global warming, those that debate the contribution and change we can effect, discuss the impact that China has on global warming. 

Regardless, when looking at the table produced by US Department of Energy, North America still produces the second highest amounts of carbon dioxide emissions in millions of metric tons (6,886.88) versus Asia, Australia at 9,604.81 as of 2004.
