    The poorest countries in the world emit around 0.1 tonnes of CO₂ per person in one year. – France emits 50-times more per person. – Germany and Russia around 100-times more. – USA, Canada, and Australia around 160-times more. [The interactive map: ]

    diGenova & Toensing cite "conflicts of interest" for turning Trump down . Toensing also happens to represent Sam Clovis, who was George Papadopoulos' boss back when that one was arranging a meeting with the Russians. And Clovis has been talking with Mueller...
