In order to deeply dig into the severe impact on chinas carbon emission from the heavy change, the paper established the error correction model of chinas carbon emissions under the condition of the heavy industrial structure (HIS). We found that the formation and development of HIS has a positive effect in promoting chinas carbon emissions, the concrete embodiment lies: with a growth of 1 percent in heavy industrial output, the long - term effects show a growth of 0.278141 percent in our country’s carbon emissions, and immediate effect shows an increase of 0.146636 percent in carbon emissions. Finally, we come up with some related policy suggestions on three aspectsto reform the traditional energy structure, to improve the energy efficiency and to promote a new industrialization. © 2011 Published by Elsevier Ltd.
