This map shows current worldwide carbon dioxide(CO₂) emissions per person from the consumption of energy. Data includes emissions due to the consumption of petroleum, natural gas, and coal, and also from natural gas flaring. These emissions lead to the greenhouse effect when heat energy is trapped by gases in the atmosphere, raising temperatures and producing global warming.
Current World carbon dioxide(CO₂) emissions from the consumption of energy: 4.47 Metric Tons of Carbon Dioxide per person
% change, 2008 to 2009: -1.4%
