Nice plots, but the unit for the left hand pane of the left plots in the section Per capita CO2 emissions should be "megaton", not "gigaton" or the x-ticks are off by a factor of 1e3. Can you fix this User:Mgcontr ? 87.214.162.181 (talk) 19:49, 23 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I can change it. You are right left plots should be megatons (I will adjust scale to keep gigatons correct), but I think the right plots x-scale is correct: source Mgcontr (talk) 20:20, 23 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

At least for the Emmisions per sq mile, the table sees a dot as a decimal separator, while the data shows it's a thousand indicator. Does anybody know how to adjust this in one go?

• Article: fr:Liste des pays par émissions de dioxyde de carbone
• Corresponding English-language article: List of countries by carbon dioxide emissions
• Worth doing because: Great source of information to be linked with Kyoto protocol

Thanks for this very useful article. I have some feedback: - Palau is listed as the highest CO2/capita/year emitter in the world, difficult for a subsistence economy to achieve. This looks wrong to me - it's listed elsewhere online (e.g. https://www.macrotrends.net/countries/PLW/palau/carbon-co2-emissions) as close to 15t/capita/year. - the table lists CO2/capita/year in units of kt, which usually means kilotons. I think this should be tons (tested by dividing country totals in table by population). — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bruceteakle (talk • contribs) 22:46, 24 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

New statistics for 2018 is available at https://edgar.jrc.ec.europa.eu/overview.php?v=booklet2019&dst=CO2pc&sort=des9 , published on the 26 Sept 2019. Tomastvivlaren (talk) 09:06, 3 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

This article would be greatly benefited by some focus on cumulative net carbon fluxes that consider land use changes rather than solely carbon emissions from industrial sources. If CDIAC data is correct, it appears that global CO2 emissions from land use changes were greater then those from fossil fuel combustion and cement production through around 1965, which is not represented with current information on the page. ^[1] — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pinus jeffreyi (talk • contribs) 20:24, 28 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Should the list factor in not only carbon emissions, but also the amount of carbon taken out by the environment (green plants)? — Preceding unsigned comment added by MySixthSense (talk • contribs) 03:40, 5 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
