Impoperly pasted stats for a geography assignment measuring simplified rates of food and energy consumption. The source is from a classroom textbook and the UN:

Canada dwarfs comparatively sized countries in terms of total drain on the Earth’s resources. The United States is one-third the size of India but consumes double the amount of resources [in terms of food and energy].
As can plainly be seen, per-capita food and energy [electricity in KWh IIRC - it was a while ago] consumption in developed countries such as Canada and the U.S. far exceeds that of underdeveloped countries.[e.g. US 10,070 vs India 199]
Global Warming models shot to hell!
