Want to know which country is in the worst place of emitting Greenhouse gases,just we can see it for ourself on the Google Map,which is created by U.N and Google.This map shows the emissions and changes that had taken place from  the year 1990 to the year 2006. The color Green indicates that, it is good and decrease in the emissions, and The purple color indicates that, it is bad and  there is a frequent increase in the emission.Sweden,is on the top list of the worst offenders and it has increased the emission of the Greenhouse gases over that time by 110 percent. Next member on the list is Turkey with a increase of 103 percent, and Canada with a increase of 55 percent.First,I thought that U.S would be on the top of the list but it is only at the tenth place in the list with a increase in 14 percent.I am exicited to see that Russia is far better than any other developed country.But, I am annoyed to see that Canada has become worser than U.S. The map lets us to know more about the data.We can sort the emissions by the type of industry,type of emission and which Greenhouse gas is responsible (CO2, CH4, N2O, etc), or year,just a click on a country gives us the full detail and the resposible sectors for the emission in such a high level.From 1990 to 2006, Russia had seen a decrease around 29 percent in emissions,but, if we take a look at just the end of 2006, Russia has started getting purple and it rises as a worst emitter with No.3 in the list.And as we thought before,U.S becomes the NO.1 worst emitter of Greenhouse gases in the world.I don’t know whether this application of Google is really working for finding the data’s regarding Global warming.Anyway,I am not sure of it.
