Re: Every 16 days

That means China emits 23X times more carbon than Australia.

However, if we compare carbon emissions per capita, Australia emits 61% more carbon than China.

Australia pop. - 38 million

China pop. - 1.4 billion

One Australian emits 1.61 pounds of carbon for every 1.0 pound emitted by a Chinese person.

The Australian population figure is wrong. Not 38 million but 25 million and change.

One Australian emits 1.61 pounds of carbon for every 1.0 pound emitted by a Chinese person.

Well the average chinese worker lives in a closet and rides a bicycle.
