All countries that are “on target” are Easter European countries that de-industrialized after the fall of the Soviet Union and Warsaw Pact. Thats a measure of success, all right – go back to the caves and export your population for menial jobs in the West.

Would be useful to see the overall picture for all countries as this isn’t really a competition between countries.

Hi David,

Interesting visualisation, thanks.

LowCarbonEconomy.com are about to launch an exciting new climate change data project.

1. We found a good source for the data I think you were after for this: http://dataservice.eea.europa.eu/dataservice/metadetails.asp?id=1080 (if that’s helpful at all)

2. Would be really interested to talk to you about making the data we’ve collected beautiful too. Please do contact me if you’re interested.

Cheers,

David

Although is there a chance that it’s a little more intuitive with red in the middle… or, perhaps with red as the target and other colours. I don’t know… that takes away from the familiarity!

Correcting some misinformation about the US: The US is a signatory to the Kyoto Protocol, but neither Bill Clinton nor George W. Bush nor Barack Obama ever submitted it to the US Senate for final ratification. Shortly before becoming a signatory to the agreement, the US Senate unanimously passed the Byrd-Hagel Resolution, which more or less declared the Kyoto Protocol to be dead on arrival unless it was significantly modified. Since 41 Democratic Senators voted for the Byrd-Hagel Resolution (with four abstaining), blaming the failure of the US to ratify the treaty on George W. Bush seems pretty simplistic.

…and yeah, the graphics, while creative, are a little confusing.

great work, but the same can’t be said about the countries in the fail category.
