New Earth Rising as Ecological Internet Declared Greenwash Free Zone
Are you committed to deep eco-truth telling and sufficient transformative solutions? Then write with us.
Ecological Internet is looking for guest bloggers for our leading environmental portals sites including ClimateArk, Forests.org and EcoEarth.Info; and essayists for our soon to be launched "New Earth Rising" e-zine. Don't bother to reply if like WWF and RAN you think logging ancient forests somehow saves them, if like TreeHugger your focus is upon making over-consumption cool, or if like Grist you think being cuttingly sardonic matters. Help us spread the written word -- the Earth is gravely ill and only profound, revolutionary personal and social action can save us now. Contact us to write for Ecological Internet and share your truth regarding the depth of the global ecological crisis and what must be done to save being.

Climate Ark: Emissions of CO2 - selected countries (1995)
9. Volume of GHG calculated per nation and per capita. The rich countries of the world historically has emitted most of the anthropogenic greenhouse gases since the start of the industrial revolution in the latter half of the 1700s. Per capita, the significant emissions still are produced by the OECD countries.- A major issue of debate is the sharing of responsibility. Non-industrialised countries strive to increase their population's standard of living, thereby also increasing their emissions of greenhouse gases, since economic development is closely associated with energy production. The volume of GHG thus will probably increase despite the efforts to reduce emissions in industrialised countries. China has the second biggest emissions of GHG in the world. However, per capita the Chinese emissions are very low compared to the no. 1 on the list, the USA.
