Sorry it's small, I took it from facebook because my other computer is broekn at the moment, but other that that and the grainyness, c&c?

The grain suits it but aren't you missing the vital number of tonnes?

[MG30D]

here's the actual figure: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_carbon_dioxide_emissions_per_ capita

I'm a little confused by the rank (3rd worst), doesn't seem to match the above link. ???

[hennebury22]

wow! I am missing the number of tonnes!
Oops.

And that its 11th not third.

I don't get this. Do outlets produce carbon dioxide? :eyes

I could not find any good stats with electricity, but I'm looking for some and fixing this picture.

I think the logic goes like this:

You need generators spinning to produce electricity. One way is to use water and gravity... example - Niagara Falls and the generating stations run by it.

Another is nuclear power - the reaction is hot, used to boil water, steam results and will turn the generators.

Another way to boil water to get steam is from burning coal - the back-up fuel of choice at hydro plants. Used when demand exceeds what can be produced by the nuclear methods, or when the nuclear process is down.

Or an entire generating station is simply run by coal power as its primary fuel source.

And burning coal creates CO2 emissions.

Therefore the more electricity you demand as a consumer, the closer you get to forcing the generating stations into burning coal and creating CO2 emissions.

Also you might want to change "emmisions" to "emissions".

Thanks for the input, I do need to fix this picture, I think I'll get a new statistic all together.

Yeah. OK. But I thought rain forests produce Carbon Dioxide (CO2) and the burning of coal, for example, produces Carbon Monoxide (CO)? ??? :mrgreen:

Burning coal is a huge contributor to CO2 emissions, along with burning petroleum products and natural gas.

CO is also a bi-product of certain types of fuel; I know it's abundant in diesel exhaust.
