Trivia Tidbit Of The Day: Part 110 -- Carbon Emissions.

Carbon Emissions in the Developing World-

CO-2 emissions. Environmentalists assert that carbon emissions are causing global warming. Thus, they want to do something about the problem. Which is respectable. But the environmental movement's solutions do not seem to match up with the identified problem.

ExxonMobil (.pdf).

Emissions are greatest in the developing world, and every reasonable forecast projects that growth over the next quarter century will take place in parts of the world that are leaping forward from the 19th century to join the 21st.

Nice chart.

I don't think scientists say CO2 is causing global warming. They say it contributes, how much is unclear. It is probably the only greenhouse gas we can control.

The Kyoto Treaty, even if met, does little to reduce CO2. What it tests is whether the world governments will cooperate against global warming.

And we don't know how much total cooperation will help anyway.

Check that curve some time with the curve of worldwide needed energy projection versus supply at the Dept. of Energy's website. The curves are almost masked.

Environmentalist's should go talk to the farmer about their cow that is putting out too much methane too! Maybe after a good global warming there will be another ice age???
