CO₂: who burns what

Our World in Data's CO₂ series joined to Natural Earth countries. Per-capita choropleths for 1990, 2000, 2010 and 2022 that crossfade as you scroll, a Gulf close-up where Qatar reaches 38 tonnes per person, and a final 3D chapter extruding total emissions: China 11,712 Mt, the United States 5,055, India 2,831.
