Sorry roberto, but per capita is total emissions produced from all sources of emission and then divided by the population of the country. Therefore, LNG, Oil, Petrochemicals, Refinery and Power Gen and others are all sources of emission generation.
Further, I agree with whyteknight that since the energy is cheap or even free in some instances therfore, it does not hurt to use more. This is a simple economics rule - the more you have the more your propensity to consume. Therefore, not to single out Qataris alone. Please look at other countries also and see those who are rich use much more energy in those countries and those who are poor less energy. This is true in a poor country and even in a rich country. If you look 20 to 30% of the world's rich control and consume 70-80% of the resources and 70 to 80% of world's poor use 20-30% of the resources. The real climate control can and will only happen when there is a balanced and more equal distribution of resources over the globe. Are the rich ready to relinquish their riches and share with their poor counterparts?
