The given table compares the production of carbon dioxide (CO2) across five different countries in 2005 and 2006. The data includes the production of CO2 per person, the total CO2 production, and the changes between the two years.
Overall, the USA had the highest production of CO2 per person at 19.8 million tonnes, while India had the lowest production of CO2 per person at 1.4 million tonnes. However, when it comes to the total production of CO2, China led with 5,900 million tonnes in 2006.
In detail, China, with 4.6 million tonnes of CO2 per person, saw a rise in its total production from 5,478 to 5,900 million tonnes, reflecting a significant increase of 11% from the previous year (2005).The USA topped the CO2 per person list at 19.8 million tonnes.However, its total production moderately fell from 5,879 in 2005 to 5,540 million tonnes in 2006,making a 2% decrease. As for Russia, despite having the second-highest production of CO2 per person at 12.1 million tonnes, it had one of the lowest total productions in both years, increasing from 1,345 to 1,420 million tonnes, reflecting a growth of 0.6%.
Although India had the lowest production of CO2 per person at 1.4 million tonnes, it witnessed a growth of 8%, rising from 1,275 to 1,450 million tonnes. Finally, Japan’s production of CO2 per person was 9.8 million tonnes, while its total production rose from 1,120 to 1,240 million tonnes, an increase of 1.1%.
