Hi Graham Y,

"While you might be able to measure the CO2 emissions for individual countries, how do you measure it for products?"

I saw on the abc news this morning a segment claiming a polyester T-shirt creates 20kg in CO2 emissions.

I later found this and it says 1kg polyester fabric = 21kg CO2 emissions.
It might have some info about how they are calculating it.

Hi Alan B.
"China has little if any oil or gas, and for now needs our coal."
- They have some, but you don't ever hear much about it.

Fun Facts
China is currently the worlds 5th largest oil producer,
- But they're also the worlds 2nd largest oil consumer.
The United States is the largest consumer, using 20% of the worlds production.

Armchair Critic,
More than likely, more than half of that is for frivolous, unnecessary activities, much like here !
