U.S. carbon budget |
The carbon budget for the US is negative. The US, with about 4% of the world's population is responsible for about 25% of historical CO2 emissions. How can we (in the US) expect the developing world to significantly reduce their projected CO2 emissions if don't start taking some our previous emissions out of the atmosphere?
