Bad Canada

A blustery run through very soggy woods.

Under the Kyoto protocol, Canada should have cut its carbon emissions by 6% by 2012. Instead, their emissions have risen by a third and, to avoid a financial penalty, they have withdrawn from the protocol – the first country so to do, significantly undermining global efforts to slow climate change (ref). To put their emissions into context, they rank 7^th out of 216 in total per country, and 15^th in total per capita, and 1^st equal in selfishness.
