The infographic shows that China has become the world\u2019s biggest polluter, as defined by CO2 emissions, having overtaken the United States. China has four times as many people as does the United States. Therefore, it would be understandable if China had four times the CO2 emissions. Yet, it has only 2% more emissions. Similarly, India also has four times the population of the U.S., yet it has more than four times fewer<\/em> emissions.<\/p>\n The real criminal–or, at least, one of them–seems to be Canada. China has slightly more than 38 times as many people as does Canada, and Canada currently has emitted 614 million metric tons of CO2. If Canada\u2019s population were the same as that of China, and all other things being equal, then Canada would have 23,361.23 million tons of CO2 emissions!<\/p>\n Likes:<\/strong> The countries and figures are arranged in an intriguing manner.<\/p>\n Dislikes:<\/strong> The agenda of human-caused global warming is no longer relevant in 2015; thus, the infographic is not as relevant.<\/p>\n Here we present graphical representations of the world’s 20 biggest CO2 emitters, in terms of million metric tones.
