There have been serious concerns about the build-up of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere in recent years. Table 1 provides data about carbon dioxide emissions by China and the United States. TABLE 1: AMOUNT OF CARBON DIOXII)E EMITTED BY CHINA AND TI{E UNITED STATES FROM 1968 TO 2008 Carbon Dioxide Emission (in billion tonnes) by Year 1968 1973 1.1 5.2 1978 1.5 5.3 1983 1.6 4.8 1988 2.4 5,4 1993 2.9 5.7 1998 3.3 6.2 2003 4.3 6.4 2008 6.9 6.4
