I am doing a project on North Korea and need to find outjust how big of a part did north Korea play in global warming? source please? please try to avoid using CIA World Factbook.
North Koreans are much too poor to create much greenhouse gas emissions. In 1996 48% of the population were starving and many were eating twigs, bark and leaves to survive. In 1997 CO2 emmissions were (tonnes per capita):
North Korea 11.4 [this surprised me, I wonder what that nasty autocrat is doing?]
United States 20.1
Australia 17.2
Canada 16.6
Germany 10.4
UK 8.9
China 2.9
Cuba 2.3
Nicaragua 0.7
Zambia 0.3
Sudan 0.1
Yemen 0.1
World Total 6.6 Billion tonnes per year (with 6.2 billion people 2002)
And for goodness sake dont be fooled by this latest denialist email scam! Thousands of scientists have worked for many years on this, check out the IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) or the Millenium Ecosystem Assessment Board, for example. The Arctic is melting, the glaciers too, Tuvalu is being evacuated because the rising seas are washing their islands away, millions of Bangladeshis are also being displaced by the rising sea, how much evidence do people want ’cause hey sorry but thats just the tip of the iceburg! I am studying Sustainable Development at an Australian university.
Uh, you must have missed the news over the weekend, hon. Hackers have leaked official documents, confirmed by the research center to be true and accurate, that global warming is a scam. That the temps are in fact on a steady decline around the globe. The researchers have confirmed all of this to be true, that they were told by Government entities to lie and push this global warming crap on the public.
Google it, hon.
