This would be an incorrect view of the data as some states actually generate electricity and other CO2 producing activities for other states.

One example would be Utah producing electricity with Coal fired Power Plants for California. Which would credit the CO2 produced to the state with a smaller population. Yet the larger population is the cause of the CO2 generation.

There are many more examples but this is a big one off the top of my head.

I agree. It is very hard to register these measurements. There are too many variables If we used more environmental products like rainwater barrel and compost bin then we could all reduce our CO2 production.
