  | CO2 emissions per capita since 1860. One will notice that:
Emissions per capita due to deforestation have globally been decreasing for a century, and this decrease has been particularly fast right after the Second World War. One might wonder if our forests have not been spared by the multiplication of tractors and fertilizers, that allowed an eightfold increase of yields. If so, what will happen when oil and gas become really constrained?
Emissions per capita coming from coal have never stopped rising. The reason is alas simple: 2/3 of the world coal production is used to generate electricity, which increases along with the GDP (below, world GDP vs. world electricity generation for the period 1985 - 2012: a perfect line!).

 |
 |
  | MacKay: I think something new may have happened between 1800AD and 2000AD. I’ve marked the year 1769, in which James Watt patented his steam engine. (The first practical steam engine was invented 70 years earlier in 1698, but Watt’s was much more efficient.)

 |
  | Data (•) for the period 1006–1795 are based on measurements of gases trapped in the DSS ice core from Law Dome, Antarctica (Etheridge et al., 1996). Measurements for the period 1832-1953 are from the DE08 and DE08-2 Law Dome ice cores (Etheridge et al., 1996). Values in the period 1958–96 are from direct measurements in the middle troposphere at Mauna Loa Observatory, Hawaii (Keeling and Whorf, 1997). The DSS, DE08, and DE08-2 data represent state-of-the-science with respect to [CO2] measurement accuracy (uncertainty of ±1.2 ppm) and age resolution (spread of 25–40 years) of air trapped in ice cores (Etheridge et al., 1996). Mauna Loa values are the mean of the 12 monthly means each calendar year. Seven monthly means are missing from the Mauna Loa record (four in 1958 and three in 1964) and I estimated values for those months by interpolation. I also fitted a cubic smoothing spline (—) to all the measurements using Fortran routines CURFIT and SPLEV (and the routines they call) from Dierckx, 1987 and Dierckx, 1993. At least part of the damping effect of the smoothing spline probably removes measurement errors rather than real atmospheric features (Etheridge et al., 1996). A normal cubic interpolating spline produces unrealistic variation in [CO2]a between measurements. Most of the increase in [CO2]a since about 1800 was due to fossil fuel use and release of CO2 from the terrestrial biosphere due to deforestation. The present global terrestrial biosphere, however, is a net sink for CO2 (although some locally disturbed areas are net local CO2 sources) and the oceans have been a net annual sink for CO2 since about 1800. Other processes are also important to changes in [CO2]a. For example, the decline in [CO2]a ca. 1550–1600, and perhaps its `recovery' ca. 1750–1800, was probably not due to human activities. Instead, this significant alteration in the global carbon cycle likely resulted from large-scale natural phenomena, maybe including the so-called little ice age (Etheridge et al., 1996). It is also notable that [CO2]a was apparently stable (or even declining) in the period ca. 1935–45 (see Etheridge et al. (1996)for more details) even though fossil fuel use continued then; that is, all the fossil carbon released as CO2 was balanced by net carbon storage in oceans and on land during that 10-year period. Note that more than half the increase in [CO2]a since 1800 occurred after the mid 1950s.

  | Sources: For 1850-1953, Etheridge et al's ice core data were adjusted to accout for the geographical distribution of CO2 as a function of time. The means of data (SIO for 1958-1974 and CMDL in-situ data for 1975-1982) at sites (Mauna Loa and South Pole), used before, were adjusted for the geographical inhomogeniety. For 1983-2002, means of data at CMDL CCCG sampling network were computed. The 2003 data is the mean of the incremeant of in-situ data at four sites (Barrow, Mauna Loa, American Samoa and South Pole) from 2002 to 2003 added to the 2002 global data. For 2004 amount an estimated increase of 1.5 ppm was added to the 2003 amount.

Emissions associated with land use and land-use change, such as agricultural fertilizers, livestock, deforestation, and burning, account for about 30 percent of total greenhouse gas emissions. And uptakes of carbon into forests and other vegetation and soils constitute an important carbon sink, so improved land-use management is essential in efforts to reduce greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.

  | MayKay:
If we assume that the climate has been damaged by human activity, and that someone needs to fix it, who should pay? Some people say “the polluter should pay.” The preceding pictures showed who’s doing the polluting today. But it isn’t the rate of CO2 pollution that matters, it’s the cumulative total emissions; much of the emitted carbon dioxide (about one third of it) will hang around in the atmosphere for at least 50 or 100 years. If we accept the ethical idea that “the polluter should pay” then we should ask how big is each country’s historical footprint. The next picture shows each country’s cumulative emissions of CO2, expressed as an average emission rate over the period 1880–2004.

From United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change - UNFCCC (for China emissions concern just CO2 - figures coming from the french Ministère de l'Industrie). NB : emissions coming from international travel of goods or people are not affected (they do not end in a national total). It can be noticed that all Eastern Europe countries have notably diminished their emissions between 1990 and 1998, thanks to....the recession they experienced. Are economic growth and decrease of emissions compatible ?

Annex I designates all the countries that have committed themselves to a reduction of the greenhouse gases emissions under the terms of the Kyoto protocol ; this category essentially comprises developped countries and countries "in transition" (Eastern Europe countries, mostly).
Annex II designates the countries that signed the Kyoto protocol but that did not commit to any reduction (essentially developping countries, including China and India).

Three epochs are visible on this graph:
before the first oil shock (1974), all emissions are rapidely rising. The strong economic growth that went along with reconstruction in France after the Second World War went with an equally strong growth of the emissions, with a final phase obvious in 1973.
after the first oil shock, the industrial sector starts to efficiently track down every Joule in excess, and besides converts some usages to electricity (replacing a fossil fuel by electricity, produced or not with a fossil fuel, displaces the emissions from "industry" to "energy sector"). All this leads to a continuous decrease of the emissions until the "counter-shock" (oil became very cheap in 1985).
During the same period the growing share of nuclear energy, resulting from the program launched by the french government in 1974, allowed a fast decrease of the emissions of the energy sector. At last, households have also focused on energy savings in the buildings, with visible results.
and at last the road transport gorws... until the world oil production becomes almost constant, and then the CO2 emissions begin to decrease, because the French oil supply does the same!

  | TIMESERIES CO2 Emissions taking into account the emissions for imported stuff (Denmark, Great Britain, EU27) – Lomborg
|
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
  | Bjørn Lomborg Many rich nations like to emphasize how they are cutting CO2. But in reality we are often just emitting less *here* while importing lots of stuff that emits CO2 in China and elsewhere.
That makes us feel good, but it doesn't help the world. Here is a chart for Denmark 1990-2010. We proudly say we have reduced emissions 23% (true for geographical Denmark), but when we also look at the emissions in our imports, we have actually increased our CO2 emissions by 16%.

  | Bjørn Lomborg In the ongoing look at CO2, let's take a look at Great Britain. Most rich nations like to emphasize how they are cutting CO2. But in reality we are often just emitting less *domestically* while importing lots of stuff that emits CO2 in China and elsewhere.
That makes us feel good, but it doesn't help the world. Here is a chart for Great Britain 1990-2010. GB can proudly say they have reduced emissions 14% (true for geographical Great Britain), but when we also look at the emissions in the imports, they have actually increased their CO2 emissions by 18%.
|
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
  | The Doha climate talks are finished, and really all that was agreed was to extend an extremely outdated Kyoto agreement. Now only the EU, Norway, Switzerland and Australia participates, making up less than 15% of the world's emissions.
Again, it is perhaps worth noting that this group of countries may brag that they have cut their CO2. But in reality they have simply cut down their *domestic* emissions while importing lots of stuff that emits CO2 in China and elsewhere.
It may make us feel good, but it doesn't help the world. Here is a chart for the new Kyoto partners 1990-2010. Yes, they have indeed reduced their domestic emissions almost 4% over the past two decades. But when we include emissions in the imports, total emissions have actually increased by more than 3%.
Remember that most of the decline in the 1990s were driven by the extraordinary decline in Eastern Europe after communism's collapse. Since 2000, emissions have been rising dramatically, only interrupted by the global crash in 2008 and the EU continued economic sclerosis.

The terrestrial sink was the residual derived from constraints of two major anthropogenic sources and the sinks in the atmosphere and oceans. We used the C sink in global established forests as a proxy for the terrestrial sink.[/ref]

  | Source: Reproduced from Barker and others 2007. Note: This figure shows the sources and growth rates of some of the medium-to long-term greenhouse gases. Fossil fuels and land-use change have been the major sources of CO2, while energy and agriculture contribute about equally to emissions of CH4. N2Ocomes mainly from agriculture. Additional greenhouse gases not included in the figure are black carbon (soot), tropospheric ozone, and halocarbons. The comparisons of the equivalent emissions of different gases are based on the use of the 100-year Global Warming Potential; see note 9 for explanation.

From the Report
Box 3.2. Land-use emissions of CO2 – past trends and future projections Historically, global net-CO2 emissions from land-use change (mainly deforestation driven by the expansion of agricultural land) have been in the order of 4-8 GtCO2 a year. Other factors also contribute to land-use related emissions, e.g. forest degradation and urbanisation. In the Baseline scenario, the global agricultural land area is projected to expand until 2030, and to decline thereafter, due to a number of underlying factors such as demographics and agricultural yield improvements (see Chapter 2 for detailed discussions). However, the projected trends in agricultural land area differ tremendously across regions. In OECD countries, a slight decrease (2%) to 2050 is projected. For the BRIICS as a whole, the projected decrease is more than 17%, reflecting in particular the declining population in Russia and China (from 2035). At least for the coming decades, a further expansion in agricultural area is still projected in the rest of the world, where population is still growing and the transition towards a higher calorie and more meat-based diet is likely to continue. These agricultural developments are among the main drivers of land-use change, and consequently of developments in GHG emissions from land use (Figure 3.8). From about 2045 onwards, a net reforestation trend is projected – with CO2 emissions from land use becoming negative. However, there is large uncertainty over these projections, because of annual variations and data limitations on land-use trends and the exact size of various carbon stocks.* To date, the key driver of agricultural production has been yield increases (80%), while only 20% of the increase has come from an expansion in agricultural area (Smith et al., 2011). If agricultural yield improvements turn out to be less than anticipated, global agricultural land area might not decline, but could stabilise or grow slowly instead.

PM10 fell by approximately 98%, sulfur, volatile organic compounds and carbon monoxide fell by perhaps 88%, and nitrogen oxides fell by perhaps 60%. Some- what surprisingly, it is also apparent that if we exclude the years of World War II at the start of the data, the rate of reduction for each pollutant appears to be roughly constant over time.

Data are not available for all countries in the 19th century, but all major emitters of the era are included. Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from energy include all fossil-fuel burning, gas flaring, and cement production. Greenhouse gas emissions include CO2, methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O), and high-global-warming-potential gases (F-gases). Sectors include energy and industrial processes, agriculture, land-use change (from Houghton 2009), and waste. Overuse of the atmospheric commons relative to population share is based on deviations from equal per capita emissions; in 2005 high-income countries constituted 16 percent of global population; since 1850, on average, today’s high-income countries constituted about 20 percent of global population.

When deforestation was the first cause of greenhouse gases emissions (late 19th century), it was the US that contributed the most! Now the US forest is expanding, and therefore the US has a net sink (as Europe)
Southern America, long the first contributor, is now caught up by South East Asia,
China has stopped deforesting,
Tropical Africa is the third large contributor.

  | Sources: WDR 2014 team based on data from KPMG Green Tax Index (database) (for national or subnational policy measures limiting carbon emissions), which analyzes the 21 largest economies of the world, and the World Bank World Development Indicators (database) (for CO2 emissions data, as reported in the Carbon Dioxide Information Analysis Center, Environmental Science Division, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Tennessee). Note: X indicates the existence of a tax-related or non-tax-related measure in place at national or subnational levels. Energy efficiency refers to measures encouraging the purchase of energy efficient equipment (excluding measures specific to green vehicles or buildings). Carbon and climate change refers to penalties on high emissions (such as carbon taxes, emission trading systems or cap and trade mechanisms, and carbon sequestration incentives and penalties). Green innovation includes incentives for research and development for green technologies. Renewable energy and fuels refers to use of tax codes to encourage the production or use of renewable or alternative fuels and/or penalizing the use of fossil fuels. Green vehicle and buildings refers to tax incentives to reduce the energy consumption of buildings, increase their water efficiency and sustainability of building materials, and the purchase, lease and use of greener (fuel efficient, hybrid, electric) vehicles (excluding tax penalties and incentives related to fuels, which are included under renewable energy and fuels). Water efficiency includes use of taxes to encourage corporations to conserve and recycle water supplies. Material resource efficiency and waste management include use of taxes to promote conservation of material resources, reduction of waste, and recycling of waste materials. Pollution control and ecosystem protection include incentives to purchase equipment to reduce the pollution generated by the company or to encourage businesses to rehabilitate contaminated lands. * 1991 value; ** 1992 value. *** Measures recorded by KPMG may not include some of the recent initiatives. For example, in Germany, recent information suggests additional measures in the areas of waste management, pollution control, and biodiversity protection (see German Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety (BMU), “The Energy Concept and its Accelerated Implementation,” http://www.bmu.de/en/topics/climate-energy/transformation-of-the-energysystem/ resolutions-and-measures/). In Argentina, recent information also suggests programs that limit carbon emissions, including energy efficiency, green buildings, waste management, pollution control, and ecosystem protection. CO2 = carbon dioxide.

Working Paper CLIO-INFRA: Total CO2 Emissions
1. Title Total fossil fuel CO2 emissions by decade and country 2. Author(s) Kees Klein Goldewijk, Utrecht University 3. Production date 2012-9-1. 4. Version 1 5. Variable group(s) Geography, Environment, and Ssustainability 6. Variable(s) Total fossil fuel CO2 emissions 7. Unit of analysis Country 8. Keywords (5) Fossil fuel, CO2, emissions 9. Abstract (200 words) The original source for carbon dioxide emissions are the estimates of the Carbon Dioxide Information and Analysis Center (CDIAC; Marland et al, 2004). Global, regional, and national annual estimates of CO2 emissions from fossil fuel burning, cement production, and gas flaring have been calculated, some as far back as 1751 and extrapolated back to 1500. These estimates, derived primarily from energy statistics published by the United Nations, were calculated using the methods of Marland and Rotty (1984). Cement production estimates from the U.S. Department of Interior's Bureau of Mines were used to estimate CO2 emitted during cement production. Emissions from gas flaring were derived primarily from U.N. data but were supplemented with data from the U.S. Department of Energy's Energy Information Administration, Rotty (1974), and with a few national estimates provided by G. Marland. Timeseries are regularly updated till current time, see also the Global Carbon Project (http://www.globalcarbonproject.org/) 10. Time period 1500 -2000 11. Geographical coverage Worldwide 12. Methodologies used for data collection and processing Reconstruction of emissions based on historical energy statistics and simple emission factors 13. Data quality Good, internationally is CDIAC the recognized source for this. 14. Date of collection See references 15. Data collectors CDIAC (http://cdiac.ornl.gov/) 16.
