This remarkable interactive map from Google shows the carbon dioxide emissions in the USA. This interactive map breaks things down by state, county or per capita. It also breaks down emissions by the responsible sectors including aircraft, commercial, electricity production, industrial, residential and transport.
Compare California with Texas and South East states – you are in for a surprise.
This project integrates carbon dioxide emissions data from NASA, the EPA and the US Department of Energy. Carbon dioxide has been identified as the most important human-produced gas contributing to global climate change.
