Gabrielle Murrell Ch. 14 Activity 1 Region I = Carbon Dioxide(CO2) Emissions (million kg) P X Population (millions of persons) A X Affluence (Gross Domestic Product in US$ per capita*) T Technology (kg of CO2 emissions per US$ of GDP) Low income countries 1870556.46 2,257 X $2,181 X 0.38 Middle income countries 9860458.78 2986 X $5,597.00 X 0.59 High income countries excluding US and Canada 5974782.94 646 X $24,997.00 X 0.37 US and Canada 6336084.16 322 X $35,138.00 X 0.56 World 24061041.34 6,211 X $7,906.00 X 0.49 1.2 AT per capita emissions factor Low income countries 828.78 Middle income countries 3302.23 High income countries excluding US and Canada 9248.89 US and Canada 19677.28 World 3873.94 1.3 3045.16 1.4 I think we probably use more energy because of our climates. I think the size of our country matters also, this way we pollute more with transportation and import/export. I really don't understand the government policy because I always thought that we had a good policy on emissions and so forth. Japan may have more technological products in the energy using products. I would say that America has more pollution controlling devices. 1.5 The world would be extremely polluted. Emissions would be absurd. Especially in the smaller countries, where less transportation is used unlike America and Canada. 1.6 I think that this would be better, there would be less emissions making our world healthier.
