Who are the major emitters?
This chart shows greenhouse gas emissions since 1990. The changes have been:
- China +9,500 MT, +216%
- India +2.525 MT, +166%
- NZ -11MT, -14%
- US -99MT, -2%
- EU -2,196 MT, -40%
The change by continent is:
- Africa +1,808MT, +62%
- Asia +17,202 MT, +134%
- Europe -3,.659 MT, -36%
- North America +277MT, +4%
- Oceania +34MT, +5%
- South America +672MT, +22%
It is very clear that limiting temperature rises to 1.5 degrees is impossible to achieve just with US and EU. There needs to be more focus on China and India.
