We are all contributing to the global heating of planet Earth. However some of us are to a greater extent than culpable than others. If you lot are a resident of New York, Seoul or Guangzhou thence you lot are with some of the world's worst polluters. H5N1 novel report has calculated the carbon footprint of 13,000 cities some the globe too institute that almost of the worst polluting cities inwards the public tin hold upward institute inwards Asia too the United States.
Carbon Footprints of 13 000 Cities has taken a top-down approach to calculating the carbon footprint of towns too cities. The report used information on urban consumption patterns, national carbon emissions, population size too average incomes to justice the carbon footprint of each city.
The report has been published at the link inwards a higher house but you lot powerfulness uncovering it easier to explore the results equally presented past times ResourceWatch. ResourceWatch has created an interactive map which presents a 250 meter gridded model of carbon footprints some the world. On this interactive map each 250 meter foursquare is colored to demonstrate the estimated Carbon Footprint of that location.
ResourceWatch has too created a graph of the cities with the worst carbon footprints. Seoul, Guangzhou too New York brand upward the exceed iii worst polluting cities (in that order). Hong Kong (4th) too Los Angeles (5th) induce got the adjacent highest global footprints. seven of the exceed 10 cities are inwards Asia, the other 3 are all inwards the Untied States. Moscow has the highest carbon footprint of all European cities. Moscow is solely marginally worse than London, which is the minute highest polluting metropolis inwards Europe.
