- Because the definition of energy consumption by the IPCC excludes international bunker fuels from the statistics of all countries, emissions from international bunker fuels are subtracted from the U.S. total. Similarly, because the IPCC excludes emissions from military bunker fuels from national totals, they are subtracted from the U.S. total.

Of course not. I'm way out of the mainstream on that. But to clarify, i don't necessarily view it as the answer to the problem - its more of a case that if we don't answer the problem, the end of civilization will be the inevitable result (even ignoring climate change and ecosystem destruction, we still need an answer for the fact that our energy economy is not sustainable).

I don't think we will be emitting much of anything when/if the global economy collapses.
