It's official: We are the biggest piggies!

Australia is the worst carbon emitter per capita. According to BBC news. Carma - Carbon Monitoring for Action - collates emission data in great detail world wide. 'Carma points out that while US power plants emit the most CO2, releasing 2.5bn tonnes into the atmosphere each year, Australian power stations are the least efficient on a per capita basis, with emissions of 10 tonnes, compared with the US's 8.2 tonnes.'
