[Coral-List] Two news stories about coral reefs

Wed Aug 24 15:07:26 EDT 2016

      I see on the Wikipedia page for Greenhouse gases, in the section on
"sectors", a pie graph.  I gives power stations as 21.3%, industrial
processes 16.8%, transportation 14.0%, agricultural byproducts 12.5%,
fossil fuel retrieval, processing, and distribution 11.3%, residential,
commercial, and other sources 10.3%, land use and biomass burning 10%.
     Farther down, there are tables by country.  Currently, China is the
top emitter, with 23.6% of world emissions, and the US second with 17.9%.
Table below that has cumulative emissions from 1850-2008.  In cumulative
emissions, the US has been the top emitter, with 28.5% of total world
emissions, and China is second with 9.36%, and all others are less.
   Cheers,  Doug
