Wolfram Alpha

In case you haven't heard of Wolfram Alpha, it is the coolest thing in the world. Here's an intro, in case you have not heard of it or do not know how to use it. You can input statistics and it will calculate information it finds useful to you. Why is the Environmental Committee posting it? Because has statistics on carbon emissions for different countries. Try inputting "Carbon emissions UK/US" and it will divide the carbon emissions of Great Britain by those of the United States. You will notice that the graph shows the ratio is getting smaller as time progresses meaning that the UK's carbon emissions are decreasing and/or those of the US are increasing (both are true.) You can try this for a few other countries like Japan, France, Germany, Spain, Russia and more (unfortunately the People's Republic of China does not publicly release their statistics on a regular basis.) You should find the results interesting...
