The given table illustrates the CO2 emissions per person in five nations, which are China, the USA, Russia, India and Japan in 2006. It also compares the total tonnes of CO2 emissions in 2005 to 2006. The percentage change in CO2 emissions from 2005 to 2006 is also given.
Overall, the USA is the only country where there was a decline in CO2 emissions from 2005 to 2006.
It is manifest from the table that the developed countries had a high per capita emissions of CO2. The USA produced 19. 8 million tonnes of CO2 per person, which was followed by Russia and Japan at 12. 1 and 9. 8 million tonnes respectively. China produced 4. 6 million tonnes CO2 per person. India produced the least CO2 per person, which was 1. 4 million tonnes.
As far as the total CO2 emissions is concerned, the USA again took the lead and produced 5879 million tonnes CO2 in 2005. China followed closely behind with a production of 5478 million tonnes. Russia, India and Japan produced below 1500 million tonnes of CO2. Japan produced the least CO2 emissions in 2005. In just a period of one year, China superseded the USA in CO2 emissions, with an increase of 11% from the figures of 2005. Russia, India and Japan also had a slight rise in the total CO2 generation.
