Description: Chart showing greenhouse gas emissions (including LULUCF) per capita, by country, for countries with the most total emissions, with the area of each column showing total emissions Data source for June 2021 version(s): Historical GHG Emissions / Global Historical Emissions. ClimateWatchData.org. Climate Watch (2021). Archive thereof: https://web.archive.org/web/20210521225317/https://www.climatewatchdata.org/ghg-emissions?end_year=2018&start_year=1990 Source for country populations: List of the populations of the world's countries, dependencies, and territories. britannica.com. Encyclopedia Britannica. Archive thereof: https://web.archive.org/web/20210626134803/https://www.britannica.com/print/article/2156538 Chart was requested by User:Chidgk1 at the Graphics Lab Illustration Workshop Uploader created chart manually, using Microsoft Excel to assemble the SVG code. VERSION THREE (updating with data from 2020): started 2021-12-30 DATA FOR VERSION THREE is CARBON DIOXIDE ONLY, not all greenhouse gases. Background: https://www.globalcarbonproject.org/reccap/index.htm Source data: http://www.globalcarbonatlas.org/en/CO2-emissions Data from Global Carbon Atlas also presented in: Popovich, Nadja; Plumer, Brad (November 12, 2021). "Who Has The Most Historical Responsibility for Climate Change?". The New York Times. (archive) General idea (not a true picture): The user pastes data and selects format choices in yellow cells. The spreadsheet automatically assembles XML code in the blue column, which the user copies and pastes into the .svg file. To make similar charts, follow these instructions: Download the spreadsheet from this Dropbox link and open the file using Microsoft Excel or other spreadsheet program. Enter data into the yellow-colored cells. If needed, revise horizontal and vertical scaling factors (to convert your raw data into pixels that fit nicely into your chart area). The spreadsheet automatically calculates the other cells—including the text in the blue column which is the final SVG code. COPY the blue column and PASTE into a text file, yourfilename.svg (must end in .svg) Display your SVG file in a browser or other program, to see if adjustments are needed. Make adjustments (scaling factor(s), colors, locations of labels, etc). Preferably, make the adjustments in the spreadsheet so they carry forward to the .svg file; of course, you can change the .svg file directly also but the changes won't migrate "backward" to the spreadsheet. For detailed discussion of using spreadsheets to generate SVG code for other types of charts, click here. Visit my talk page with any suggestions or questions. If this particular chart needs updating in future years, let me know and if possible I will update it myself.
