Worldwide Energy-Related CO2 Emissions, 1860-1997
Note: Emissions attributable to SRES regions were calculated by combining CDIAC regional and country data. This graph includes CO2 emissions from both energy-related activites and cement production. In 1997, globally, cement production accounted for 3 percent of the total shown.
