PAPies continue to live in a world of denial!
In recent separate reports, the World Wide Fund (WWF) ranked Singapore as having the highest per capita carbon footprint in Asia
while Canada’s University of British Columbia (UBC) called it the “unhealthiest” country with the worst ecological deficit of 152 countries.
Among 152 countries, Singapore ranked last in the Eco2 ecological and environmental health index devised by researchers at the UBC
Fisheries Centre and the Global Footprint Network which studied consumption and natural resources data over a 10-year period from
1997 and 2007.
According to official statistics, Singapore emitted more than 43.4 million tonnes of carbon dioxide from burning fossil fuels in 2010.
