Looking at a variety of sources you can determine that total global CO2 emmissions from human industry is 26500 MMT/year. Add in another 2447 MMT/year for human respiration for a total of 28947 MMT/year. Based on the mass of the Earth's atmosphere we can determine that a 2130 MMT of CO2 equals a 1 ppm change in CO2 concentration in the atmosphere. Therefore, we can conclude that CO2 concentration should be rising at 13.5 ppm/year. In reality, CO2 is rising at Interesting data yet incomplete!

Instead of MegaWatt hours use GigaWatt hours/year (put the year part on everything), so it would be written as: GWHr/year. Instead of "intensity" use MWHr/Lb. or better yet, switch to all-metric units and use MWHr/Kg. and so on. I’d like to see units expressed more scientifically. Instead of MegaWatt hours

If you type in your region, you will see more detailed info, I'm in New Mexico and saw the wind farms and green dots! Thanks again for this wonderful resource!

There may be a chance for our future children. I thank you for your great work, now if we can ellect a president that will really fight for the planet and not money and power of the wrong kind.

The earth should change naturally without our influence...regardless of the magnitude...Then again thats just my opinion.

That is per capita CO2 produced by power sector in each country. This will bring attention to those countries who are generating lot of CO2 as compared to their populations. Per capita CO2 generated by power sector could also be used to measure the progress made by each country towards green energy. hi,
