Carbon emissions
Another long-needed page:
Perhaps not the best title, but we need a lot of data of this sort in a page like this...

Burning I mole of carbon produces 1 mole of carbon dioxide and removes 1 mole of oxygen from the atmosphere.
Burning I [mole](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mole_%28unit%29) of carbon produces 1 mole of carbon dioxide and removes 1 mole of oxygen from the atmosphere.Moles are nice, but it seems everyone uses units of mass.
Moles are nice, but it seems everyone uses units of mass.I just added a bunch of information to Carbon emissions: historical total carbon emissions, and future projections.
I just added a bunch of information to [[Carbon emissions]]: historical total carbon emissions, and future projections.I uploaded two graphics, one comparing 1990 and 2004 emissions for G8 and O5 countries, the other showing the emissions of Germany by source group. I think MacKay said somewhere that transportation uses one third of all the energy, but according to the chart transportation has a share of 20% or even below, only.

I added some extra information to this page today, and in the spirit of friendly competition I put the UN page back on top. Then I felt sorry for Germany and added it to the list of the top CO2-emitting countries: it comes in 7th place. Then I felt sorry for the Azimuth Forum members who come from the UK, and added it to the list too: it comes in 8th.
More importantly, I added information and links concerning per capita CO2 emissions, including this basic fact: in 2007 the average person in the world emitted 4.4 tonnes of carbon dioxide by burning 1.2 tonnes of carbon.
Nice graphics, Tim! I added some extra information to this page today, and in the spirit of friendly competition I put the UN page back on top.

Then I felt sorry for the Azimuth Forum members who come from the UK, and added it to the list too: it comes in 8th. More importantly, I added information and links concerning _per capita_ CO<sub>2</sub> emissions, including this basic fact: in 2007 the average person in the world emitted 4.4 tonnes of carbon dioxide by burning 1.2 tonnes of carbon.I updated our Carbon emissions page to include 2011 data in the Quick figures section. I always struggle to find the information I need when preparing talks!
