I don't mind having a go at the Americans when they deserve it, but I'm not too sure about this one.

Given that the British Isles could be dropped on Texas and cause negligible damage, unless by chance they landed on a big city, could somebody break down these figures to Tons per million head of population, or perhaps Tons per million square miles of land area? Then we would have relative figures which might tell a slightly different story. It might even give some self righteous nations a nasty shock. Just comparing UK and US figures, is the USA really only 8.479 times larger than the UK?

Even if it did show the good old US of A as the major villains,, it would then be a valid reason to make demands for changes of policy. I'm not sure that that reason might not be equally valid for some other nations who currently believe that they are less polluting than the USA.
