Not a carbon copy of the U.S. - latimes
If per capita carbon emissions in China and India rose to car-happy U.S.
levels, global emissions would increase by 127%, according to the
International Energy Agency. If their emissions stopped at the levels
found in hyper-dense Hong Kong, world emissions would go up less than
24%. As the Asian economies prosper, the United States should hope that
they embrace the skyscraper more than the car, and we should reform our
own policies that subsidize sprawl.
