Countries by Carbon Dioxide Emission per Capita (Tonnes)

Countries by Carbon Dioxide Emissions per Capita (Tonnes)
This is a list of countries by carbon dioxide emission per capita. The data only consider carbon dioxide emissions from the burning of fossil fuels and cement manufacture, not emissions from land use and forestry. A couple of small oil producing countries is topping the list. Larger countries that is found among the top 25 is Australia, United state, Saudi Arabia, Canada, Russia and South Korea.

As the list reveals the difference between the countries in the top of the list and the countries in the bottom of the list is huge. For an example, Qatar's yearly carbon dioxide emission is about 440 times the corresponding figure for Somalia. The world's most populated countries China and India is found relatively low in the list. Chinas carbon emission per capita isn't larger than about a third of the corresponding figure for the United States and India's carbon emission per capita is as low as about a tenth of the same. These two countries with its fast growing economies are home for about 2.6 billion people. Both the population and the carbon emission per capita is growing fast. It is hard to even imagine what the consequences these countries could cause the climate in the future if their carbon emission per capita reaches the same levels as in the United States.
