What countries have a per capita emissions level consistent with an 80 percent reduction from the world's current total emissions?
The answer, as can be seen above in an image that I (Pielke, Jr., R.) use in lectures (data from US EIA), is Haiti and Somalia. If everyone in the world lived as they do in these two countries, we'd have the emissions challenge licked.
Bottom line? No country, save Haiti and Somalia, is currently producing emissions at a level even remotely consistent with levels consistent with an 80% reduction in the world's totals.
