No Tom,

the US is the winner in absolute numbers and per capita. Lets look at Carbon dioxide which is currently responsible for over 600f the man made greenhouse effect:

Per?capita CO2 emissions (metric tons):



Brazil               1.39
China                2.27
Czech Republic      13.04
Japan                8.79
Russian Fed.        14.11
Swaziland            0.33
India                0.88
Malaysia             3.74
UK                   9.78
