The carbon Footprint is currently 60 percent of humanity's overall Ecological Footprint and its most rapidly growing component. Humanity's carbon Footprint has increased 11-fold since 1961.
Global Emissions by Gas
Global Emissions by Economic Sector
Global greenhouse gas emissions can also be broken down by the economic activities that lead to their production. 1. Electricity and Heat Production(25% of 2010 global greenhouse gas emissions): The burning of coal, natural gas, and oil for electricity and heat is the largest single source of global greenhouse gas emissions. 2. Industry(21% of 2010...

Emissions by Country
In 2014, the top carbon dioxide (CO2) emitters were China, the United States, the European Union, India, the Russian Federation, and Japan. These data include CO2 emissions from fossil fuel combustion, as well as cement manufacturing and gas flaring. Together, these sources represent a large proportion of total global CO2emissions. Emissions and sinks related to changes in land …
