Per-capita emissions are estimated to rise to 2.1 tonnes by 2020 and 3.5 tonnes by 2030, according to a government-funded study by five different organisations, including environmental groups and the management consultancy firm, McKinsey.
The report did not give a figure for present emission levels but Indian climate negotiators say per-capita emissions are 1.2 tonnes at present. India's population is 1.1 billion but is expected to grow to more than 1.5 billion in coming decades.
The report is the nation's most sweeping emissions summary and its release comes months before a major U.N. climate gathering in Copenhagen ...
The emissions projections highlight India's growing role as a key player in the U.N.-led climate negotiations on a replacement for the Kyoto Protocol and the need to include big developing nations in global efforts to curb planet-warming greenhouse gas emissions.

India and China have both said they will not be joining the ‘cap and trade’ BS. But, we still have ‘Rats pushing it on the American people. And, out of the other side of their mouths they lament the poor competitive position of US merchandise in foreign markets.
It’s time to take back the country, with conservative principles as envisioned by the founders.
Sounds like those Billions of dollars of our tax dollars are going to India to ‘persuade’ them to come on board the ‘green’ global governance move....
Emitting C02 is green—without it there would be no plant life. I foresee massive increases in crop yields. Yeah for C02!
