City-dwellers emit less CO2 than countryfolk: study http://apocadocs.com/s.pl?1237825618
LONDON (Reuters) - Major cities are getting a bad rap for the disproportionately high greenhouse gases they emit even though their per capita emissions are often a fraction of the national average, a new report said on Monday.
Published by the International Institute for Environment and Development, the report found that urban residents generate substantially lower greenhouse gas emissions, which scientists blame for global warming, than people elsewhere in the country....
"The real climate change culprits are not the cities themselves but the high consumption lifestyles of people living across these wealthy countries," said report author David Dodman.
He analyzed the per capita emissions from major cities in Europe, Asia, North America and South America.
