The fact that Qatar is on top of list for CO2 emission per capita is missleading, and Qatari authorities has challenged this presentation of figures with the concerned international organizations.

This is a country which is exporting 30% of the worlds Liquified Natural Gas (LNG) and have recently openned major steel and aluminum plants, among other power consuming operations.

You say why missleading? China opens a new coal power plant every week (which is worst form of poluting), but since they have a huge population, the figures of emission per capita does not show a high number.

Not denying that more conservation awareness is necessary here, but it would only be fair to find out how much of CO2 emission Qatar produce for domestic operations, not for making a clean fuel for other countries.
