[QUOTE=snake138;19923937]China is second on the list in your post. The one under America. And per capita, doesn't that mean per person? Of course China's is going to be lower per capita, they have a much higher population. The companies they have though do still spew out pretty much on par with the US. [/QUOTE] What per capita means is that a single American pollutes more than a single Chinese person. That's the thing people need to understand.
[QUOTE=NoDachi;19924038]So the US produced as much pollution as a billion+ populated country? Disgusting.[/QUOTE] I'm not defending the US's emissions, I'm saying that you shouldn't be blindly defending China because they have their fair share of emissions as well.

We still make stuff worth boycotting? Or rather, We still make stuff?
Each American doesn't necessarily pollute more though because that site is stating CO2 emissions from the entire country, including factories and any other large business, as well as from people. America and its factories pollutes the most in the world, and China and its factories pollutes 2nd most in the world.

You're forgetting the big one; Power generation.

It is the most accurate reflection of a person in a country
[QUOTE=James*;19924165]Do you seriously not understand the importance of per capita statistics[/QUOTE] I guess I don't because it seems to me that when talking about a country's power sector's emissions like this, per capita doesn't have anything to do with it. [editline]08:03PM[/editline] [QUOTE=microsnakey;19924325]It's "Per Capita". It is the most accurate reflection of a person in a country[/QUOTE] That would be true if the emissions data above was done as a per capita stand point, but he drew a conclusion per capita from the power sector's emissions, not just the peoples.
there is good news about this we can track the signal and finaly catch him unless the government is to lazy.......
Why should the government want advice from a terrorist.
Bin Laden is just mad because with global warming now he has to invest money in getting central air conditioning in his cave.
[QUOTE=snake138;19924225] He has the evidence within his own post, then contradicts himself with the "shut up about China."[/QUOTE] The evidence shows that America pollutes just as much as China, despite America having less than a third of China's population. It's not a close second. That's the point he was making. America pollutes just as much as China despite not being anywhere near as big as China.

Because America is causing global warming lol. Nothing is really American made anymore, basically he wants to boycott china and other outsourced items.

I always knew osama was a high ranking peta official, so is obama.
[QUOTE=Xyzzy;19927392]My life is complete now, right?[/QUOTE] nope, you're just wrong. good old fashioned "i consider anyone who's political ideas are different from mine terrorist supporters" wrong [editline]08:46PM[/editline] [QUOTE=BlueSaint;19927415]I always knew osama was a high ranking peta official, so is obama.[/QUOTE] this post doesn't make any sense at all
liberals = terrorists, this is all you need to know my oil tycoon daddy told me this

[QUOTE=Sigma-Lambda;19927418]nope, you're just wrong. good old fashioned "i consider anyone who's political ideas are different from mine terrorist supporters" wrong[/QUOTE] I don't know where you guys are reading these things into my posts. I was merely commenting on the second quote, which had Mr. bin Laden endorsing Mr. Chomsky's liberal ideologies. For the record, I consider myself liberal as well when I'm not thinking that politics is a massive waste of time. Also: My second post was commenting on myself achieving the Facepunch rite of passage of being insulted by a gold member. Go me!
Wow, this was definitely unexpected.

its not Americas fault for Global Warming. its everyones. just because we happen to produce the most CO2 emmissions doesnt mean we should stop while other countries continue to do it. we SHOULD ALL stop/cut-down. but that wont happen anytime soon. its like my little brother yelling at my mom tonight "I WONT GO TO BED UNLESS BRANDON GOES TO BED TOO"

I knew those damn pinko liberals were wrong, the pollution is helping us! It's making those damn terrorists crap their pants! :911:
Did someone say Noam Chomsky? [img]http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/left4dead/images/thumb/a/ac/Gnome_model.jpg/250px-Gnome_model.jpg[/img]
Son of a bitch, now we're gonna ignore global warming just because Bin Laden says it's a problem.
