Breathing Earth - Climate Change Illustrated!
Breathing Earth, created by Stillwater, is a fantastic website that demonstrates the impact different countries have on climate change. As you browse the website you can see how many people have been born (based on stats), tonnes of CO2 emitted, etc during your visit to the website.
As you scan the world map you can get a clear idea of who the major players are in terms of C02 emissions. The United States emits 1000 tonnes of C02 every 5.4 seconds, where Greenland emits 1000 tonnes of C02 every 15.7 hours. Some of the other major culprits are China, Russia, India, Japan, Germany, Mexico, and Canada.
Although this is a simulation (using previously recorded stats), it is a great representation of how each country is impacting climate change.
