"Fmr USSR" ?????? whats wrong with you

Not sure what the issue is here. Pre-collapse data is for USSR and it would be impossible to disaggregate into Russia, Ukraine etc. Hence only option was to combine fmr Soviet states through present.

is production abroad integrated? This could make a huge difference, if not. Esp. in the case of China.

It seems like complicated data. For example, Canada produces a lot of oil via the Tar Sands. But doesn't process any of it, instead shipping it to USA or Asia. We then buy back either the refined oil, or products made from that. I'm not sure how or if all this is integrated.

China has 1404 million people. The UK has 66 million. Total emissions for China 213 trillion tons CO2 v UK 76 trillion in 2018. So, UK per capita emissions are (1404/66) x (76/213) = 7.6 times higher than Chinese per capita emissions.

What about the Russian Federation what are the statistics for that since it is only referred to as the 'former Soviet Union' but is that the Russian Federation in isolation or is the graph depicting all former Soviet terratories?
