Coal-fired power generation in Australia is probably less than half of 1 per cent of all global emissions, so he's got it completely out of perspective," he said.

6,000,000,000 People

1% of global emissions means that

6,000,000,000 x 0.01

=

60,000,000

so as a population that is almost a third of this figure we are the source of 1% of the worlds global emissions. According to the website below this 1% constitutes 80% of power supply.

Add transport and cattle stocks plus the rest of industry and we can easily assume that as a population that is less the 1% of the worlds total population we output considerably more green house gases that we equitably should.

oh and if someone can check my math on this that would be great.

I have been checking EpicFu every now and then. The last "video" item I see happened on 6/21/2009. I feel like I am lost, missing something (like a new website), or pushed out of the loop. Please help.
