Global Warming by the Numbers

Sheryl CanterThis post is by Sheryl Canter, an Online Writer and Editorial Manager at Environmental Defense.

I’ve always liked statistics – hard numbers. They can evoke pictures that are both vivid and concrete. For example, did you know that there was a 45 percent increase in the world’s solar capacity in 2005? Or that China is ranked #2 as a global producer of solar cells? (Japan is first; The U.S. ranks fourth.)

These and many other interesting statistics can be found on our newly updated Global Warming by the Numbers page. Which stats jump out most for you?
