We can’t accomplish something if we’re unaware of what our goals are. Climate change is being caused especially by the extravagant release of greenhouse gases (GHG) our planet isn’t able to absorb. So here are some quick data for thought.
37,1bn tonnes of Co2 – the amount of GHG released in 2018
415,26 parts per million (ppm) – CO2 concentration in the atmosphere in 2018. The highest in recorded history. Ever
The 4 greater carbon dioxide emitters are China (27% or 9.6GtCO2/year), the US (15%), EU28 (10%) and India (7%) –
The highest CO2 emissions per capita are in the U.S.- 16.2tonnes CO2/person in 2017 (compared to 5,99 in the UK or 1,58 in India)
The greatest share of global fossil CO2 emissions in 2017 came from coal (40%) followed by oil (35%)
25% of carbon emissions are used for heating and electricity
14% of carbon emissions come from transportation, 72% of which come from road transportation
2.1tCO2e/person by 2050 – global individual emissions per capita to keep Earth’s temperature below 2ÂșC
