CO2 emissions from Iran graph displays that liquid burning results in the most CO2 released at 70,000 metrics tons. Gases released in Iran are around 60,000 metric tons a year. One surprising result is that flaring use to be one of the greatest carbon emitters in Iran back in the 1970's but completely disappeared until the late 1990's and has a consistent amount released ever since. Iran started releasing significant amounts of CO2 back in the 1970's at 50,000 metric tons, but their greatest release was in 2010 at 150,000 metric tons.
Per Capita CO2 emission estimates for Iran show that average person uses 2.0 metric tons of carbon compared to the United States 4.9 metric tons of carbon. This means Iran uses 40% of the carbon compared to the United States per person. The value is lower since they release less carbon a year. Iran's rank on the Capita CO2 emissions is 48; compared to the United States rank of 12. I feel Iran's rank is correct because Iran has a large population but limited to its own oil reserves.
According to the total carbon emissions graph, Iran has a pretty insignificant carbon released compared to other countries. China has the most surprising results and has increased its carbon output by 10 fold since the 1990's. They are also the highest carbon emitters of 2008. However, since china has a larger population than the U.S. the states are at fault for polluting more per person. The total about of carbon sent into the atmosphere by each country is 91,229,888 metric tons for the United States, 31,793,558 metric tons for China, 9,151,461 metric tons for India, 5,364,817 metric tons for Italy, 80,124 metric tons for Kenya, 8,301,213 metric tons for France, and 2,816,123 metric tons for Iran. United States has the most metric tons of carbon sent into the atmosphere.
China has only dumped 34% of the carbon that the United States has while India has only sent 10% of the carbon into the atmosphere the United States released. This shows while China and India are catching up to the United States in terms of metric tons of carbon, they still are no where close to what the United States has released overall.
The keeling curve graph and the global emissions of carbon graph show many of the same features. They both show an increasing trend. The graphs are different because the keeling curve only shows carbon dioxide in parts per million while the other graph displays an arrange of trends including liquid carbon, solid carbon, gas carbon, and more. So the emissions of carbon shows carbons in different forms that is released every year.
Wow, Iran's total carbon dioxide emissions is nothing compared to the two biggest contributor - United States and China. I think the reason why they have way less carbon dioxide emissions is because they are less urban and less car dependent. Therefore, they pollute way less.
ReplyDeleteIran's Emissions were right what i expected, but with all of the oil there i expected higher emissions in the later years!
