Green House Gas Emission Per Capita: Japan Gets Passing Grade


To follow up on the previous post, which was about how worried people are about global warming, this is an important graph that should be on Kurashi.

It shows the green house gas emissions per capita. It could be a better indicator of the mess we are in, rather than just asking countries to reduce emissions, let's take this debate to the people. And actually, Japanese are not doing so badly at all, compared to people in several of the other large economies. And it was interesting to note in the previous post that Japanese people are among the top that feel concerned about this issue.
