China has overtaken the United States as the world's biggest producer of carbon dioxide, the chief greenhouse gas, figures released today show.
China's emissions had not been expected to overtake those from the US for several years, although some reports predicted it could happen as early as next year.

And perhaps you should check out U.S. GHG emission reductions compared to EU GHG emission increases.
