For a really interesting simulation on the birth, death and emission rates of humans for the whole planet, check out this site:
Breathing Earth - http://www.breathingearth.net/
It's based on data from the UN and populations as compiled on wikipedia.
This simulation gives us a very good visual guide to each country's contributions to global CO2 emissions. As many of studies are showing now, the emisisons from the USA and China are remarkable and extremely frightening, and this is clearly visible in this animation.
and if we all walk together then we'll get there a lot quicker (apologies for the cheesy metaphor!)
