A fascinating fact about this graph: CO2 / GDP converged substantially over those 20 years. This seems like a good thing (?)
This is also an utterly fascinating table. I was surprised by many of the leading CO2 / capita and CO2 / GDP emitters:pic.twitter.com/XuoffDs7dE
The scale of CO2 / GDP is amazing. Roughly half a kilo of CO2 per dollar of GDP! Every 100-200 dollars you spend is (on average) your bodyweight in CO2 emissions!
I am, by the way, learning a lot from this book in general. Henson's "The Thinking Person's Guide to Climate Change". Also recommend the IPCC report. https://www.amazon.com/Thinking-Persons-Guide-Climate-Change-ebook/dp/B014RCVH76/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1546556950&sr=8-1&keywords=henson+thinking+person%27s … (new edition coming in Feb) and https://www.ipcc.ch/report/ar5/syr/
One drawback of the book: there's too much reporting of extreme weather events ("The hottest day in such-and-such-a-place" type stories). This kind of thing is subject to extreme selection / reporting biases.
Very interesting! I remember digging around in the OECD data years ago that 1950-2000-ish, GDP and per-capita oil consumption were highly correlated worldwide. But I think recent data suggest that changed around 2008, being less correlated now, at least in developed nations
Islands have high per capita CO2 as they use oil for generating electricity
The per capita numbers IMO need to be looked based on the individual country. Life in each country is different for a myriad of reasons therefore per capita emissions is not a fair comparison.
