Beware the fumes from scary windmills!
The Kyoto Protocol was the first serious effort to not only acknowledging a role of humans in global warming, but to also implement measures to reducing this impact caused by greenhouse gas emissions. Since then, carbon emissions have been rising constantly, largely fuelled by considerable economic growth.
With 7.400 MtCO2, gas was the third biggest biggest source of carbon emissions in 2020 (around 20%).
Most emissions from natural in 2020 were produced in the United States of America (1.654 MtCO2), followed by Russia (748 MtCO2) and China (605 MtCO2). Iran, Saudi Arabia, Canada, Japan, Germany, United Kingdom and Mexico complete the top 10.
