United Arab Emirates goes sky high in CO2 Emissions
2013
In 2000 United Arab Emirates (UAE) was one of 76 Contribution Free countries in ClimatePositions, due to a slight reduction in CO2 Emissions (carbon dioxide). In 2005 however, the country was the 17th worst performer and in 2010 the 4th. The diagram shows UAE’s annual CO2 Emissions in tons per capita in the decades 1990-1999 and 2000-2009, and in 2010-2011 (the black bars). For comparison, the gray bars show the average global CO2 Emissions per capita.
Qatar reducing CO2 Emissions in 2011 from disastrous levels
2013
Note that Qatars’ CO2 Emissions 1990-2010 have been radically adjusted in the data source since this post was published.
Qatar was the no. 1 worst performing country out of 145 in ClimatePositions 2010 with a Climate Contribution of $29,102 per capita. But in 2011 the wealthy oil state reduced CO2 Emissions (carbon dioxide) considerably, to 34.9 tons per capita, from the extreme 76.9 tons per capita in 2010. See the annual CO2 Emissions 2000-2011 in the diagram below (the black bars). The green bars show the Contribution Free Level of CO2 Emissions in ClimatePositions.
