Extensive literature reviews on discourse in energy, water, and climate change

I found a website that links to enormous literature reviews on discourse in energy, water, and climate change.
It is from a University of Calgary professor Gregor Wolbring at http://j.mp/Literature_Reviews.

2009 CO2 emissions (Total; Per Capita; Per GDP) from fossil fuel use and cement production

The Netherlands Environmental Assessment Agency (or Planbureau voor de Leefomgeving; PBL) has been publishing its own estimation of global CO2 emissions from fossil fuel combustion and cement production.
Its latest estimation is out. I tried to rank countries according to their (1) total emissions, (2) emissions per capita, and (3) emissions per GDP-PPP.

CO2 emissions from fossil fuel use and cement production in 2009
Rank Country 1000 million metric ton
1 China 8.056
