However, the talking heads tend to run together after awhile. The AP tool is incredible at showing a real, side by side comparison of our CO2 emissions.

I particularly like the fact that the AP reports CO2 emissions on a per person bases. Even if America meets our goal of a 17% CO2 emissions reduction by 2020 we will still produce more than twice as much as most of the world.

China may produce more CO2 overall, but we produce 4 times more CO2 on a per person bases.

USA- 21.7 tons of CO2 per person each year

China- 5 tons of CO2 per person each year
