Wrong, wrong, wrong

This now deleted tweet by the Green candidate for Mt Albert is not just wrong, but massively wrong. He has acknowledged this, so the point of the post is not to have a go at hime, but educate others who may think this.

The reality is that the latest data shows that just five countries produce the bulk of global emissions. They are China, US, India, Indonesia and Russia. So 5/193 countries produce 52%.

The top 10% of countries produce 74% of global emissions, and the top 20% of countries produce 87%.

94% of emissions come from countries who emit more than New Zealand and 6% from countries that emit less than New Zealand.
