I just heard mitt romney say that india and china emit more co2 gasses than us, is this true? i have heard in other places that we are by far the biggest emitters....this fact also doesn%26#039;t take into account other aspects of our emvironmental footprint,which i have read is almost 60% of the globe%26#039;s.....does anyone have clarification of all these numbers...

Rooster is incorrect. Water vapor is responsible for 40 - 70% of the greenhouse gas warming and CO2 is responsible for 10 - 20%. All greenhouse gases combined keep the planet 34 C warmer than it would be without them. A simple multiplication shows that CO2 is thus already responsible for 3 - 7 C of warming. Doubling the level of CO2 will obviously increase that warming more (most scientists agree it will be between 2 - 5 C or 3.6 - 9 F). 0% 0 Votes 9% 1 Vote

yes, china and India combined emit more CO2 then America but estimates have also put China%26#039;s emissions higher then America%26#039;s since 06. 0% 0 Votes

Sounds true, their populations are way bigger than ours, and don%26#039;t kid yourself they are just as industrialized as the rest of the world. 9% 1 Vote
