Cities Emit 60% More Carbon Than Thought

[franco + 96]

The carbon footprint of some of the world’s biggest cities is 60 percent larger than previously estimated when all the products and services a city consumes are included, according to a new analysis. The world’s cities emit 70 percent of the world’s carbon dioxide and that’s likely higher when consumption emissions are included. Too pessimistic for a healthier future of Earth.

I live in Mexico City and wow does it get bad at times. Some times there's so much pollution you can barely make out the mountains in the distance.

Well at least it's not as bad as in India.
