"Average human" is a strange set of words when comparing the numbers. "Examining CO2 per capita around the world also shows us the gulf between the developed world's responsibility for climate change and that of the developing world. While Australia is on 20.6 tonnes per person (partly because of its reliance on CO2-intensive coal) and the UK is half that at 9.7 (explained in part by relatively CO2-light gas power stations), India is on a mere 1.2. Poorer African nations such as Kenya are on an order magnitude less again – the average Kenyan has a footprint of just 0.3 tonnes (a figure that's likely to drop even lower with the country's surge in wind power)". 1/2 way down the page http://www.theguardian.com/environment/datablog/2009/sep/02/carbon-emissions-per-person-capita I am not a naysayer but when Looking at the http://350.org/ website under Resources is a link to a Do the Math - The Movie. Bill McKibben is educating people about global warming as he drives around the country in his big ass motor home.
