Which country is the world's highest emitter of CO2?

ABC's Fight for Planet A finds that it is.....

​Australia.

Yes, Australia is the world's highest per capita emitter of the greenhouse gas Carbon Dioxide (CO2).

With only .3% of global population and 1.3% of emissions, we are ahead of the USA and China. The UK produces 1/3 and Indonesia 1/10 of our emissions, respectively.
