Have you ever been to India/China? If you need bread/milk here, you have to drive generally at least 5mins to get to a supermarket. I would say most Aussies travel about 20,000km PA in their cars because it's a large land mass with a small population.
Manhattan, one of the dirtiest, most populated and polluted parts of the USA has one of the lowest per capita energy and carbon consumption. It's hardly suprising.
These facts can be used to explain anything. Kyoto was a joke, they set these targets which many of the European nations exceed by more than 10 times. Australia would obliterate much of the world if it were scored by Kyoto standards, why the hell would anyone waste time signing a useless piece of junk.
This whole thing's built up to be much bigger than it really is.
