I am glad I don't really need to change my sentence that just Luxembourg
and Norway are ``ahead'' of Czechia in per capita fossil carbon emissions
in Europe. I guess even future numbers will probably obey it. If Czechia
will not make much better (following my recommendations...).
> I really do not have a good answer for North Korea.
I remember that each communist country is proud of its consumption of coal,
as a measure of ``progress''. It was so in Czechoslovakia as well, when I
was young. North Korea is the only old-fashioned communist system, so they
may be inclined to give larger numbers then real.
No wonder I did not notice Somalia, as I do not speak about the other end
of per-capita emissions sequence, except China.

Well, from my city, Brno, it's actually nearer to Vienna than to Prague.
Also the relationships were stronger with Vienna up to the
Twenties. However, Prague is really worth to be seen, Brno is nothing
special, just the environmental movement is more fruitful here. Of course,
I would be proud to welcome you at our Observatory.
with best regards,
