Carbon stats: How do we fare with our neighbours?

Got these off the net. All stats are per capita up to 2001/2002.

Of the three, it looks like we are the highest emitters of Co2 per head. However I feel the data should be compared with GDP or something to get a balanced picture as countries with different population & industry mixes may have different emission profiles.

I omitted Singapore precisely because of this.
