I can't believe everyone on TechCrunch can't see the difference between "highest percentage increase in green house gases" and "worst greenhouse gas emitters"... are they that foolish...

Of course countries that emitted few greenhouse gases have a higher percentage increase because any slight variation is a big one, while USA who is a mammoth when it comes to greenhouse will logically have small percentage changes because it's already huge (similar with GDP changes, 1% of GDP increase in USA is equivalent with 380% of GDP in Sweden for example and so on... btw, bogus numbers just to exemplify).

I was pretty unimpressed when they published stolen Twitter documents after publicly pretending to agonize over the decision. A professional journalist wouldn't have done either of those things.
second that. Techcrunch has been in my zonefile since then pointing to 127.0.0.1 to avoid the temptation.
