The World's Worst Climate Sinners



If nosotros desire to avoid a climate alter catastrophe as well as thence every somebody on basis needs to limit their CO2 output to 2.7 tonnes a years. For comparison, if y'all took a provide flying from Vienna to New York inward economic scheme class, y'all would swallow nearly 2.8 tonnes of CO2.

Moment has created an interactive map which shows which countries some the populace are currently exceeding the 2.7 tonnes of CO2 output per person, as well as inward which countries the population are outputting less. On the World Map of Climate Sinners the countries colored red/pink are largely responsible for climate heating. The countries colored greenish convey reasons to last really upset alongside the remainder of the world.

If y'all choose a province on the map y'all tin thought the per capita annual CO2 output. For example, inward the USA the average somebody produces some 15.74 tonnes of CO2 every year. This is some six times to a greater extent than than the 2.7 tonnes per somebody which would bound global heating to some ii ° C past times 2050.

America isn't lonely inward causing global heating. People inward most of the developed populace are exceeding the target 2.7 tonnes of CO2 output. In fact the developed populace is fifty-fifty to a greater extent than guilty than the map shows. On this map CO2 output from manufacturing is shown inward the province of manufacture. Much of the consumption inward the developed populace is the consumption of products developed inward the developing world. Therefore on this map a lot of consumption inward the developed populace is shown every bit developing populace CO2 output.

The target of 2.7 tonnes of CO2 output per somebody was calculated past times the University of Natural Resources as well as Life Sciences Vienna. This target, it is estimated, would bound global heating to ii ° C past times 2050.
