CO2 emission is a major cause of climate change and air pollution, which have serious impacts on our health and environment. CO2 emission comes from burning fossil fuels, manufacturing goods, and cutting down forests. These activities release greenhouse gases that trap heat in the atmosphere and warm up the planet. This leads to more extreme weather events, such as heat waves, droughts, floods, and storms. It also increases the formation of smog, which can harm our respiratory system and cause diseases. Moreover, CO2 emission affects the habitats of many animals and plants, and threatens biodiversity. Therefore, we must have awareness of CO2 emission and take action to reduce it. We can use renewable energy sources, such as wind and solar power, instead of fossil fuels. We can also conserve energy, recycle materials, and plant more trees. By doing so, we can protect our health and environment from the effects of CO2 emission.
This data was pulled from the US Energy Administration and joined together for an easier analysis. Its a collection of some big factors that play into C02 Emissions, with everything from the Production and Consumption of each type of major energy source for each country and its pollution rating each year. It also includes each countries GDP, Population, Energy intensity per capita (person), and Energy intensity per GDP (per person GDP). All the data spans all the way from the 1980's to 2020.
Country | Country in question |
Energy_type | Type of energy source |
Year | Year the data was recorded |
Energy_consumption | Amount of Consumption for the specific energy source, measured (quad Btu) |
Energy_production | Amount of Production for the specific energy source, measured (quad Btu) |
GDP | Country's GDP at purchasing power parities, measured (Billion 2015$ PPP) |
Population | Population of specific Country, measured (Mperson) |
Energy_intensity_per_capita | Energy intensity is a measure of the energy inefficiency of an economy. It is calculated as units of energy per unit of capita (capita = individual person), measured (MMBtu/person) |
Energy_intensity_by_GDP | Energy intensity is a measure of the energy inefficiency of an economy. It is calculated as units of energy per unit of GDP, measured (1000 Btu/2015$ GDP PPP) |
CO2_emission | The amount of CO2 emitted, measured (MMtonnes CO2) |
