Purdue scientists have released a high-resolution map of American per-capita carbon dioxide emissions to Wired.com. It shows the amount of carbon dioxide produced in 100 square kilometer regions of the United States divided by the number of residents in that area. You can download the full eight megabyte ultra-high-resolution file here.

The work provides unprecedented resolution into U.S. greenhouse gas emissions. After all, a single large city like Houston can sprawl over 1,500 square kilometers. It comes as President Bush, in a major policy reversal, prepares to announce a new plan for reducing greenhouse gas emissions that critics say is not likely to go far enough in curbing greenhouse gases.
