Science and Health: US-China share the same concern

World's power plant emissions detailed: US appears to be worst carbon dioxide polluter, but China is catching up fast as published by the Washington Post on page A16 on Nov. 15,2007.
Millions of tons of carbon dioxide:
USA 2,790
China 2,680 - A new data base compiled by the Center for Global Development tracks power plants' carbon emissions worldwide. Wheeler,an economist at the World Bank said his research highlights the extent to which both USA and China need to cut their carbon dioxide emissions to avert drastic climate change. It is a question of mutual survival and each side is emitting enough to sink everything.
That is the common interests of physicists and economists in the world.
