On this page you find various Excel documents that show the calculations mentioned in the book. After downloading you can make your own calculations with them. You may use these calculations for publications with the strict rule that you always publish ‘© www.petrushoff.com / CO₂, a Gift from Heaven’.


Chapter ‘Spreading out is not wrong, but it also isn’t the solution’

Link to Improvement of efficiency does not result in reduction of CO2

In this document the calculations in the yellow cells show clearly that spreading out the CO₂ emissions over a longer period has no influence on the final total output. Limiting emissions through using alternative energy or efficiency improvements has not enough effect to prevent climate change if this is caused by CO₂.


Chapter ‘The singularities of the Annex-1 list of participating countries of the Kyoto Protocol

Link to Emissions per capita

This document shows the singularities in emissions per capita resulting from negotiations, where other objectives rather than limiting CO₂ output were possibly more important. Note that countries with a high economic growth e.g. Ireland are allowed to raise their output and poor countries e.g. Bulgaria have to limit their reduction. Very wealthy countries such as Taiwan, South Korea or Israel are in the list of 137 countries that have no limits at all.


Chapter ‘The forgotten population growth’

Link to Influence of population growth on the targets of CO2 reduction

In this document you can find that differences in population growth cause very big inequalities – and in my opinion impossible obligations - in CO₂ output limitation.


Chapter ‘CO₂ emission figures, facts and space to solve it’

Link to The number of hectares

This document shows that there is more than enough space to solve the CO₂ pollution problem with trees.


Chapter ‘The figures of the Tree solution’

Link to We can solve the CO2 problem if we want to  

This document helps you to calculate almost any cost or other important figure involving the solution of the CO₂ pollution problem by planting trees.
