1. Wouldn't the relevant graph be global GDP and global emissions? Can we see a global Kuznets curve, and how far along it might we be? (admittedly aggregation of GDP is more difficult at high levels.)
2. For the countries decoupling, could we find which sectors are causing the most growth? As they decouple, what are they substituting into that is not emissions intensive?
Two questions:

1) good thinking! Certainly would be worthwhile looking at
2) also good idea— giving me something to look into for a future post!
Great let me know if you write it. (Well I'm subscribed too so I guess I'll find out.)
