If it is assumed that carbon dioxide represents 70 per cent of the total increase for 1996, greenhouse gas emissions may be as high as 13.7 per cent above 1990 levels. If the carbon dioxide contribution more closely matches its relative contribution overall of 80 per cent, then emissions may be as much as 12.6 per cent above 1990 levels. It is safe to assume that greenhouse gas emissions in 1996 are, at a minimum, 12.6 to 13.7 per cent above 1990 levels and now stand at between 638,442 to 644,679 million tonnes. Population in 1996 was 29,969. On a per capita emissions basis, these increases imply further deterioration with emissions ranging between 21.3 to 21.5 tonnes of greenhouse gases per capita.
Figures are preliminary.
