North Korea also operates much less agricultural machinery than other nations with similar populations, actually less machinery in general than other nations further reducing their carbon footprint. They also starve a large percentage of their population so they are producing less methane producing human waste per capita than many other nations. I'd guess the individuals of N.K. probably have some of the lowest carbon footprints in the world.

As does electric light.
Some would like to eradicate it.
Turn the lights ON!

An electric bulb in one's tent for light or a campfire? Inquiring minds want to know....

How much carbon is produced by a campfire for an average 4 hour period versus how much carbon is produced by a coal burning power plant powering that light bulb during the same amount of time?
Course then there is the question of scale. How many light bulbs versus if everyone were using campfires in the light bulbs place.
But then there is also the issue that most people go to bed after the campfire runs low, whereas people are encouraged to stay up and active with 24/7 electricity available... not that there is 24/7 electricity available in North Korea...
