These countries have the largest carbon footprints
The average American, is responsible for 14.95 metric tons, compared to 6.57 metric tons per person in China and only 1.57 metric tons in India.
There’s also a huge difference in CO₂ emissions per person among the US states. Wyoming has the highest CO₂ emissions per capita at 110 metric tons, while New York has the lowest with under 9 metric tons, according to US Energy Information Administration figures from 2015.
While the US is way ahead of China under the CO₂ per capita measurement, China is the world’s biggest emitter overall.
It overtook the US in terms of total emissions back in 2006 and now emits more than the US and EU combined.
Rapid economic growth and a large population have been driving up China’s emissions. This chart from the World Resources Institute shows the scale of its contribution to global warming.
Canada has neither the large population nor the high total greenhouse emissions of China and the US, but when its CO₂ emissions are measured per person it only narrowly misses out on the top spot.
This is because it’s a vast country with a small population and abundant natural resources that are spread across its wilderness, which means it has proportionally high emissions from transport, industry and energy.
Third on the list behind the US and Canada is South Korea which still relies heavily on coal for electricity and has a more energy-intense economy than most other G20 countries.
