points are significantly higher in OECD countries
because these are places where companies already
face, or are more likely to face climate regulation
in the near future. See Figure 6.
Figure 7 shows annual emissions changes
reported by companies between 2000 and 2008.
The 86 firms reporting annual emissions provide
109 data points. 87% of annual emission changes
fall between -10 and +10 thousand tons of CO

;
however, increase outnumber decreases in emis-
sions by more than two to one. In other words,
between 2000 and 2008, for every firm that re-
ported an annual reduction in emissions, two firms
report an increase in emissions.
