Population that year was 248.7 million which means that each soul in the country, on average, was responsible for 20.2 tons. Just for comparison, the rate in 2006 was 19.7 tons/person. The U.S. Census Bureau is forecasting that our population will be approaching 420 million and if we are to limit our emissions to 80% below 1990’s level, each individual will be capped at 2.4 tons. Go get one of those CO2 foot print forms and see if you are able to reach this level. See source data here, http://www.eia.doe.gov/oiaf/1605/ggrpt/index.html. </p> In 1990 US CO2 emissions were 5,017 million metric tons.

60% of the 1990 level would be the equivalent of the US emissions in 1941.

It is relatively manageable to dump into excel, and then extract the info for the US. I think you might have some fun playing with the data as well…

It's like the old FarSide cartoon with the mathematician/scientist scribbling a great equation on a chalk board and at one point has "a miracle occurs here" on it to reach the solution. </p> She’s relying on the fusion economy.
