<p><em>Update: An earlier version of the attached podcast said the United States is the largest emitter of CO2 emissions per capita. This has been corrected to say the US is the world's second largest emitter of CO2 emissions, after China.

China's per capita emissions are 7.42 tons. The US per capita total is 16.55 tons, which ranks it #11 in per capita emissions.</em></p>
