China, the most polluting

China is about to overtake the U.S. as the country that produces more carbon emissions, as we read the latest news via Reuters .

Carbon emissions from China increased by 10% in 2005, according to a U.S. scientist, while a study in Beijing showed an increase in fuel consumption by 9% in 2006. It is clear that China must begin to take action on the issue of lowering carbon emissions.



Carbon dioxide is produced by burning fossil fuels like coal, oil ... And all scientists agree that the key to global warming. In 2006 Chinese fuel consumption increased by 9.3%, equivalent to 2.4 billion tons of coal this year.

The International Energy Agency (IEA) has already warned the 26 most powerful nations of China 'dethrone' the United States as the largest polluter in 2010.

For its part, China does not clarify or confirm anything, just issued a statement through his office at the National Coordination Committee on Climate Change which say they have no accurate data to confirm these studies.
