1. Are you surprised by the data? If so, what are the surprises? If not, why not?                                                                                                                                                                                            I am surprised by the carbon emission rates for the smaller countries, like Uganda and Afghanistan. I was expecting much lower However, they are still lower compared to the higher countries, like USA and China. For those, I was expecting a lot lower, especially with the idea of “Going Green”. Then again this data is older than now, so it could be lower than it used to be.
2. What do you think the prospects are for future generations?                                                                                                                                                                                                                           I am expecting that the future generation will be willing to cut down on carbon emissions, unless of course we ruin the world before they can make a change. I hope they manage to help the world and not make it worse than it already is.
