On the basis that most carbon emissions are related to fossil fuels, then the only way is up....
USA - 20.4 tonnes CO2 per captia
UK - 9.79
China - 3.84
India - 1.20

So imagine how much more fuel they'll need to get to just 50% of the standard of living as the UK and USA. The rest is supply and demand economics ... ouch
