Higher living standards `increase carbon emissions`
Developing countries striving for a higher standard of living could increase their carbon emissions in the process, it has been suggested.Researchers at Oregon State University cited India and China as examples of nations where industrial growth is damaging the environment.The staff behind the study also suggested citizens of all countries may wish to consider the eco impact of having children.Professor of statistics at the educational institution Paul Murtaugh explained a growing population is likely to have a negative impact on global warming.`In discussions about climate change, we tend to focus on the carbon emissions of an individual over his or her lifetime,` he said. `An added challenge facing us is ... [the] increasing global consumption of resources.His team calculated each American offspring adds 9,441 tones of CO2 to the footprint of the average parent.Last month, the Bishop of London Richard Chartres wrote a comment piece for the Guardian, arguing the children of the future will be angry with previous generations if they do not avert climate change.
