With @breckyunits we built a Data Explorer that allows you to explore the many ways of measuring CO₂ and GHG Emissions: annual, per capita, cumulative, consumption-based for all countries in one place.
We aim to continue learning and improving these tools, and expand across other topics: Energy and Poverty are next on the list.
If you have feedback on how we can do this better, we'd love to hear it. Always open to suggestions.
As is always the case with our work: it's always a massive effort from everyone in the @OurWorldInData team. Great to be working with such awesome people.

Terrible of the @guardian to publish this ill-informed, out-dated article on EVs.
Why does it build so much of its coverage around the climate crisis, then continually publish nonsense articles that undermine real solutions to address it?
Over its life course, the emissions of EVs are lower (how much lower depends on the electricity mix). As the world decarbonises, this will get even better.
What impact have national greenhouse gas emissions had on global warming?
A new paper by @Jones_MattW & team at @gcarbonproject quantifies each country's contribution to global mean surface temperature rise.
I've added this data to @OurWorldInData. Here are some highlights 👇
@Jones_MattW@gcarbonproject@OurWorldInData First, the team calculcates contributions to temperature rise using cumulative emissions of CO2, methane & nitrous oxide since 1850.
They convert this into carbon-dioxide equivalents using the GWP* method.
Includes emissions from fossil sources, agriculture & land use
