>California emits only 2 percent of global greenhouse gases

Is that real, or a side effect of the number of companies which are basically ghost-chartered in Delaware?

I wonder how much of that is due to increased heating necessary during winter...

(also not relevant, but California's current GDP is ~2.2T, which is around 3% of the total world GDP (75T)).
Consider all the power required to support a Californian's life style, including his direct use and all the services and products that converge on him. That Red Bull can on his desk is probably not negligible, not when you factor in all the infrastructure required for it.
