The given table illustrates how much carbon dioxide is emitted from energy production. Diagram includes information about five countries’ emissions in 1985, 1995, 2005.
Overall, in 1985 USA produced the most CO2 emissions, leading in the table. However, in 1995 its rank dropped by one figure, making China the leader. Besides, in the first year under review India took the last place in the diagram, with the least number of Gt being emitted, but in 1995 and 2005 the fifth stroke of the table was reached by Japan. In total, the quantity of emitted Gigatonne increased between 1985 and 2005, the only exception of Japan, whose energy production emissions dropped in 2005.
More specifically, the United States had 5.8 Gt of emissions in 1985, which made US the first country in the ranking, nevertheless China dominated during the timeframe of 1995-2005, with 8.6 and 11.4 Gigatonne, respectively. The rank of Russia dropped from the third stroke to the fourth, despite increase of emissions (1.5 in 1985, 1.8 in 1995, 2.00 in 2005). In 1985 India was behind with 1.1 emitted Gt, but its rank reached the third place in a decade and was stable after. It is important to mention, that the only country, which emissions were diminished is Japan. It started at the point of 1.2 Gt, emissions level rose by 1.3 in ten years, but then decreased back to its initial number.
