On the Net:
Carbon Monitoring for Action: http://www.carma.org
Center for Global Development: http://www.cgdev.org
Other sites claim 27 billion tons of carbon dioxide (broadly compatible with 8 billions of carbon) and still others merely claim 7 - 13 billion tons of carbon per year (Seems they can’t get more than 50 % accurate in the estimates....)
1 carbon atom (AW = 12) joins with one molecule of O2 (AW = 32) to make one CO2 molecule (AW = 44)
Makes a difference, doesn’t it? Particularly since these guys are claiming to be “monitoring” advertising their “local” knowledge of emitters.
By the way, just who is paying for their work? Why are they paying for this work to be done? How much are the enviro’s paying for this “advertisement” against the coal power plants?
WHO is gaining by these guys getting paid for their website?
