MODERATORS
I take great exception to per capita values. In the overall picture it bears little relevance, the total output is the most important value. We need to do better on emissions as a nation, but even if we could somehow get to zero emissions out would still only be a drop in the ocean as part of global emissions.
Per capita values can be used to tell you where to focus your effort though, provided it's coupled with an understanding of why the value may be high (which this article gives).
