Per capita CO2 emissions of countries with the highest emissions in the world

The Emissions Database for Global Atmospheric Research (EDGAR)  is a joint project of the European Commission Joint Research Centre and the Netherlands Environmental Assessment Agency which estimates emissions of all greenhouse gases (GHGs), air pollutants and aerosols. The 2024 EDGAR GHG report covering the time span of 1970 to 2023 has recently been released. It’s a treasure trove  of data , which I played with to generate the chart in this post.
