Another way to look at the carbon dioxide emissions produced is by per capita, which is more fair. Then the order will be changed into: US Russia Japan Germany Canada S.korea Italy UK China India population: China 1,300,000,000 India 1,050,000,000 US 291,000,000 Russia 144,800,000 Japan 127,000,000 Germany 82,800,000 UK 58,800,000 Italy 58,000,000 S.korea 48,598,175 Canada 31,985,468

Russia alone, accounts for 17.4 percent of the total world emissions. and the us accounts for 35% of the world total. so I am wondering where your data come from??? "To come into force, the protocol must be ratified by at least 55 countries representing 55 percent of the total emissions in 1990. After the United States and a number of other countries refused to ratify the treaty, Russia’s support became crucial. As of now, 124 countries have ratified the Kyoto Protocol, but they only represent 44.2 percent of the total emissions. The treaty comes into force automatically after it is ratified by Russia, accounting for 17.4 percent of the total emissions. " gateway2russia.com And the US accounts for some 35% of the world total "The U.S. accounts for some 35 percent of the world total of carbon emissions, and Kyoto supporters, buoyed by Russia's eventual decision, have called anew on Washington to follow suit." townhall.com
