Does that include the shipping? Maritime shipping causes about 3% of global greenhouse emissions, IIRC.

No, digging into the data it looks like "International transport" is listed as a separate "country", so it doesn't count toward any single country's emissions.

Too bad, as I know some things have been brought back stateside simply because shipping costs are too high (think: plastic trashcans at Walmart) so I'd suspect the shipping of Chinese goods is a major portion of the total carbon cost.
