1.What is the relationship between per capita carbon dioxide emissions and the level of development? [Hint: You will want to log GDP as well as per capita CO2 emissions to see the relationship.]

High GDP countries -> Low amount of Co2 emitted

Need to explain details.. (about half page)

Need to explain Statistical significant, Coef, R-squared, and other relationships.. (about 1 page)

2. (2~3pages total) How would total energy use in the world compare to current energy use if low and lower middle income countries used the same energy per capita as upper middle income countries, and keep the high income countries on their current energy usage. What is the overall increase in energy consumption when the new level is applied to poor countries?

Explain the implications of your finding.

Explain whether the environmental Kuznets curve applies to carbon emissions, and what the world can do to reduce carbon emissions.
