This has been elaborated at my blog http://naturalplaces.blogspot.com/ and on our webpage http://www.adopt-a-ranger.org/carbon_offset.htm and http://www.birdlist.org/phpbb/viewforum.php?f=4 Moreover, this would be the only hope of preserving maybe 50% of the species on earth in the course of this century. So you may like it even if you don't believe in global warming. It is a measure well worth taking! To achieve this the world's shortage of park rangers, estimated at over 100,000 in developing countries needs to be addressed. Currently no government or conservation organization in the world addresses this problem. that is why the Adopt A Ranger Foundation has been created.

The first thing he did when he lurked into office was pull us out of the Kyoto treaty - a move that showed many of us what we were in for over the next few years. Many US States have given the proverbial raspberry, and gone ahead and made their own tighter rules for emissions standards despite what the oil folks would like to pose as regulations :) Tom,

Apologies for not doing your software justice in its ability to properly tell this story. However, when I follow your suggestion and put CO2 per capita on the y-axis and time on the x-axis I find it difficult to display the large differences between the countries emissions. If I use the log of the CO2, the data are compressed and if I use linear data, the y-axis goes to a maximum value of 180 for some reason. I don't know how to reduce this to something more meaningful (for these 4 selected countries) like 30, for example. Hopefully you can help with this. Hans, thanks for stopping by and commenting.
