Last year saw the highest global emissions ever recorded, at 59 billion tons of carbon dioxide equivalent emissions, a category that includes not only the principal greenhouse gas, carbon dioxide, but also methane and other climate-warming agents. Residents of the United States  the worlds largest historical source of planet-warming emissions  have some of the most carbon-intensive lifestyles. The carbon footprint of the average American is about 17.6 tons of carbon dioxide equivalents a year, about twice the footprint of a person living in the European Union or the United Kingdom, and almost 10 times that of the average Indian citizens 1.7 tons annually. Global greenhouse gas emissions have risen about 1.4 percent annually on average over the past decade. This year is set to be the second hottest on record after 2016, according to the World Meteorological Organization and other data sources.
global emissions have risen more than twice the average for human lifetimes.
