  9. Depends how you measure it.

    The USA has the largest emissions of CO2 per capita. This is particularly crazy, since so much of the emissions should be avoidable. For example, why should every home in Phoenix, AZ (which has 350 days of sunshine per year) have a huge tumble dryer?

    China has, I believe, the largest total emissions of most pollutants and CO2. However, they are currently producing cheap consumer goods for the developed world. It is a bit rich for the countries in the west to fuss about China's record of pollution when they are providing China with preferential terms for exporting their goods, and buying them as fast as they can. If you think that China is harming the world, stop buying Chinese-manufactured goods!

    My answer, then, is regardless of which country it is, if this is something that concerns you then think about your impact.

  10. China.  

    The United States?  Not even close.

    we don't know of the rubbish they are sneakily getting rid of also
