per person statistics don't take into account the massive population of china over the united states.

No china is the biggest polluter actually.

Yes, China has 4 times the population of Americans. BUT, spite the population fact, the US still burns TWICE as much co2 emissions than China. Thats 2.89 billion metric tons compared to the US's 5.47 billion metric tons.

You think it's fair to say that most of the Chinese are pollutors are just as bad as Americans when there are millions of people in China who don't even own a car?Electricity? Or even take a bus? While in the US, amost everyone has a privilage to burn ALOT of co2 emissions? No, it isn't. Yes two major cities have horrible smog, but they are still well behind the US pollutants.

Yea and china has like triple americas population so that's a rather moot point.

Americans use 5 times more tons of co2 emissions per person on average compared to China.

PLus, Haile Gebreselassie never steps to the plate for world champs or olympics anyways, he didnt run in the berlin world champs, he's scared of the london marathon and may be the pressures of beijing olympics was too much for him. some people run best with less expectation from them

on reflection, all this pollution fuss was nothing, the marathon runners still did excellent times, well done samual wanjuri....

I live in america and its not my fault america pollutes so much. If there was a biofuel car or more plant plastic containers I surely would buy them. I hate petrochemicals
