  • CO2 embedded in imported goods minus the CO2 embedded in exported goods.
  • some of the CO2 produced (and reported) in emission records of Asian and Eastern European countries is for the production of goods consumed in Western Europe and North America
  • The composition of this trade is also important in terms of carbon intensity.
  • The goods exported from Russia, China, India, and the Middle East typically have a high carbon intensity, reflecting the fact that their exports are often manufactured goods. In contrast, we see that exports from the UK, France, Germany and Italy are low; this is likely to be the higher share of export of service-based exports relative to those produced from heavy industry.

    This article follows up what we discussed in class -- now that gay sex has been decriminalized, what does this truly mean for India's LGBT? This article discusses both the optimistic view, which is that this progress is a stepping stone for further victories, like legalization of gay marriage and old criminal cases of gay sex being thrown out, and the more sobering view, which contrasts this stride forward with another law that was passed in India that acknowledges a third gender, and is widely ignored.
