This resource shows students where most CO2 emissions come from on a per capita basis and how they have changed over time.
Additional Prerequisites
Students should know how to read a line graph and a global map and should be familiar with the term fugitive emissions.
Students may need some background information about CO2, both as a greenhouse gas and as an unregulated ozone-depleting substance.
Differentiation
In social studies classes, students can work in small groups to compare the per capita carbon emissions from two countries. Students can notice how the countries' per capita emissions compare by industry and overall.
Science classes can show students the data as a way to introduce a lesson on global warming and climate change.
