Nice. A LOT of info in one place! Not the most user-friendly presentation, however.
There should be info about import and export, though. Westerners like to shift responsibility for climate action to the Chinese because they think that if the Chinese would just buckle up and cut their emissions, we'd be halfway to solving the greenhouse gas problem. And thus they only make half-assed changes to their lifestyle, if any, because they think they're less responsible. What they don't realise is that a big chunk of China's emissions are actually their own, evident by half of their posessions being made in China. Don't get me wrong, China is getting worse. Their economy is growing rapidly and so the Chinese individual carbon footprint is rising. But I would guess the amount of greenhouse gas emission in China that is actually by demand from outside China, is still a very sizeable chunk of China's total.
