10 Biggest Polluters on Earth

[Denilson-The-Comeback]

Below are the Top 10 emitters of carbon dioxide from 2018, along with the global share and the change each country has experienced since the 2005 Kyoto Protocol.

China (up 55%}
India {up 106%}
Russia
USA (down 12% since Kyoto protocol)
Japan
South Korea (up 38% @Gandalf )
Germany
Iran
Canada
Saudi Arabia



Of the Top 3 emitters, China and India have both experienced massive increases since 2005. The U.S. has experienced double-digit declines, as have Germany and Japan.

Large changes in coal consumption are the primary driver behind most of the countries mentioned above. China and India have greatly expanded their usage of coal, while the U.S. and Germany have seen sharp declines in coal consumption.

A key driver in the U.S. and Germany was legislation aimed at limiting carbon dioxide emissions. This helped spur rapid growth in renewable energy usage in both countries, which helped lower demand for coal.

But in the U.S., an even larger driver in reducing coal consumption was the shale gas boom, which created enormous supplies of cheap natural gas. Over the past decade, consumption of renewable power in the U.S. rose by 349 terawatt-hours (TWh). Over that same span, power from natural gas increased by 696 TWh — nearly double the renewable energy contribution.

The U.S., in fact has reduced carbon dioxide emissions by more than any other country @Beanz since the Kyoto Protocol, while China has increased emissions by more than any other country.

It should be noted that the U.S. is first among countries when it comes to responsibility for historical carbon dioxide emitted into the atmosphere. However, given China’s current emissions and the trends, they will pass the U.S. in the overall CO2 contribution to the atmosphere in a little more than a decade.

It also remains true that China’s per capita carbon dioxide emissions are much lower than those in the U.S. @walrus In 2018, annual emissions in the U.S. stood at 16 metric tons per person, while those in China were 8 metric tons per person. However, since 1980 per capita emissions in the U.S. have fallen by 20%, while they have more than quintupled in China.

All majority white and asian nations.

Not one majority black nation on that list.

Not one.

no offense but I can't think of many black Nations that had heavy industry to cause any pollution

So I'm right then ? There is not a majority blk country fking up the enviroment.

Even though that's a fact. Its black ppl who suffer the most over the shit whites put out there.

Blk people are more likely than whites to live in the congested communities that experience the most smog and toxic concentration thanks to fossil fuel use.

Heat waves connected to climate change kill blk people more than whites

The agricultural is fked up, disruptions due to warming cost African nations billions.

The air is fked up. Thanks to what ppl?
The water n oceans are fked up. Thanks to what ppl?
The ice cap is fked up. Thanks to what ppl?
The animals r fked up n dying out. Thanks to what ppl ?

Yet these are the same ppl running around telling everyone how smart they are. How high their iq is.

This is crucial bcoz u need air n water to survive.

Unless your gonna talk about white supremacy and it's mentality your never gonna get to the root of how fked up the enviroment is.
