As reported by the Economist this week, the US isn't the only country that has increased its greenhouse gas emissions significantly since 1990. Economic growth is primarily correlated with the increase in emissions, with Spain, Portugal and Ireland leading the way. The global recession (depression??) bodes well for a gall in GHG emissions, but not much else. Note: China and India do not report data.
