Source: CIA Factbook

Chart shows per capita CO2 emissions from energy consumption. Markers indicate position of the country by total emissions (as opposed to per capita).


Use the scroller at the bottom to view more countries.


Notes:

  • Arab countries are really high on the per capita list. Probably because they burn fossil fuels entirely for power supply.
  • Same with Singapore.
  • India - #3 on the total emissions - is way down on per-capita number, like due to the large population.
  • China is quite high on the per-capita list in spite of the large population, which indicates near first-world levels of energy consumption.
