We have been increasingly importing products made in China for the past 2 decades. China is the largest user of coal based energy. For example, All those Apple Ipods, ipads, iphones (milllions of units per month) represent products made in China that produce CO2 in China and are imported into the US. The US produces 0 CO2 for the manufacture of those products. The statistic you cited is meaningless when total CO2 production on behalf the US citizenry is accounted for. The People's Republic of China is the largest consumer of coal in the world, [1] and is about to become the largest user of coal-derived electricity, generating 1.95 trillion kilowatt-hours per year, en.wikipedia.org
