List of countries by carbon dioxide emissions per capita
Note that emissions as a result of manufacturing exports and emissions avoided by importing products are not considered in the following list. For instance, around 33% of China s emissions in 2005 were due to the production of exports rather than consumption.For a more complete idea of how a country influences climate change gases such as methane and nitrous oxide should be taken into account. All data were calculated by the US Department of Energy s Carbon Dioxide Information Analysis Center (CDIAC), mostly based on data collected from country agencies by the United Nations Statistics Division. Countries are ranked by their metric tons of carbon dioxide emissions per capita in 2003.
This is particularly so in agricultural economies. . == BY LLOYD NICHOLAS SMITH {| class= wikitable | |} == On 6 October 2009, the International Energy Agency (IEA) released for free download the 2007 numbers for over 140 countries/regions/economies at http://www.iea.org/co2highlights. This is a list of countries by carbon dioxide emissions per capita from 1990 through 2006.
