noted some interpreted stats

Tom Brosz — 8/5/2004 8:01:30 AM (archived)

I wouldn't mind seeing the original sources.

I did note the famous "per capita" gimmick for cooking statistics. Maybe Sydney has more pollution in some areas "per capita" than New York or London, but both of those cities have at least twice the population of Sydney too. Sydney, as a whole, could be a lot cleaner than either. The guy burning leaves down the street is probably also generating more pollution "per capita" than New York City.
