The paper selects China and Canada as samples respectively on behalf of developing countries and developed countries, according to the data from “the BP World Energy Statistics 2009” and the formula about carbon emissions from calculation handbook which in the UN´s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) in 2006, the amount of total carbon emissions, per capita carbon emissions and carbon emissions intensity due to energy consumption in China and Canada are calculated from 1998 to 2007. The result shows that both Canada and China have not realized the decrease of carbon emissions absolutely. The very different carbon emissions between two countries reflect the difference of various national conditions, such as population and the energy structure. In order to deal with global climate change and protect earth jointly, developing countries and developed countries should understand each other on energy conservation and emission reduction by sticking to appropriate principle.
