Behind The Wall - A smog by any other name...: "BEIJING — If there were one place that is living proof that global carbon dioxide emissions in 2010 jumped the largest amount on record, it’s got to be the Middle Kingdom.
Emissions leapt 5.9 per cent last year, according to the Global Carbon Project.
And the world’s biggest emitter —yes, China — was a big contributor. It pumped 2.2 billion tons of carbon into the air, compared to the 1.5 billion tons of carbon by the U.S.
On days like Monday — and there have been way too many this year — it feels like Beijing is the receptacle."
