I'm using Alexandrite, find it good

As it happens I've been calculating per capita emissions for 28 years, since COP2. You can see my model here.
No I certainly don't include Russia nor Turkey, although europe is more than EU. Korea is indeed notable. Regarding what they call 'consumption emissions', you can get such data from Global Carbon Project, on that I'm less an expert but my hunch is that industry emissions are dominated by heavy products like steel and cement for construction (made with help of gigatons of coal), rather than light consumer goods for export. Over-construction is the root of the problem, global emissions will peak (maybe now) as that bubble bursts.

Hmm, publishing that will really help those Crimean beach hotels get customers for this summer...

lopq's original comment is correct for 'whole west' too. the second part is also true per capita. By the way europe also has a lot more people than united states, it's not irrelevant.

You are right, it’s simple numbers, scientific fact, pity so much downvotes, people should check recent data rather than get stuck with old concepts from 1990s (when climate politics began).

Emissions per capita of China have been higher than the european average for about a decade now.

It's worth trying, the principle works.
Indeed I even felt it from paragliding, how large dark patches form rising convection cells, later fluffy clouds.
Unstable air is also needed, which is rare within the descending side of big Hadley cells - why these areas are deserts. Otoh the big deserts were greener in the past, so it might be possible again.

Hope they thought through the whole story. Cape town has a micorclimate squeezed between sea and desert, so it may be a special case, but in general as climate changes, plants should be able to migrate too. Trees evapo-transpire, large areas of trees help to create clouds, and convection cells, and maybe rain. So such policy might help increase groundwater in the short term, but not in the longer term.

Tragic, but change now seems inevitable, although they didn't cause it ( should be compensated by the big soybean/cattle-ranchers who driver deforestation, inter alia ). Maybe similar situation to Sundarbans in Bengal ( although they don't have açaí ) .

Good idea, hope it catches on, When I began coding, we had to design efficient loops and be careful with memory, but recently brute force applied "in the cloud" seems to dominate, especially with AI. Perhaps this approach can help give a little credit to those who still try to develop efficient software.
[ p.s. you might get more comments if cross-post to a programming / software community ? ]

I've seen similar underground winter fires in Siberia, smoke from peat emerging through snowy forests - and that was 1997-98 (also an El Niño winter). Adding a lot of extra carbon, bad positive feedback ...

At 1000 km/hr, it'd run out of track in less than four minutes, hope it can stop in time ... Anyway not convinced there's much point in this. China should be building more suburban rail networks to fill the gaps, instead of pouring so much concrete into crazy-wide highways and toll-roads (look on satellite image, you'll see).
