There are a number of things going on in the run up to Copenhagen to make the point about how serious climate change is.
One of the more interesting ones is this:
Alfio Bonanno and Christophe Cornubert have created a 1 ton cube of CO2. At 27-foot it's not inconsiderable.
Going on figures from the Guardian, each person in the UK, on average, produces nearly 10 of these each year. That's a lot of carbon, and yet it's nothing compared to places that the US, who produce twice as much per capita.

Isn't the UK something like the third worst carbon polluter per person on the planet?
I have a suspicion that 'less than the US' is damned by faint praise. (Not, I admit, that I'm doing much about it.)
