* Global CO2 emissions from CDIAC * Global, Regional, and National Fossil Fuel CO2 Emissions from Online Trends by CDIAC: emissions broken down by region and country (to 2002). * Greenhouse gas data inventory database compiled from reports of signatories under the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (you can also see the for 2005): an excellent interactive database outputting emissions on the basis of country, gas, sector and year (the output in Gg CO2 can be converted to the more usual Mt C by dividing by 1000 (Mt CO2) then multiplying by 12/44) * UK Emissions of Greenhouse Gases (2006) from Defra (covering 1990-2004): "basket" of greenhouse gases is 183 Mt C (million tons Carbon equivalent) compared to 209 in 1990 (12% decrease); CO2 is 158 compared with 165 (4% decrease); however recent trends (since 2002) have been upwards (1.6% for the basket, 3.3% for CO2). Also see How UK CO2 emissions are measured. * UK Greenhouse Gas Inventory: Annual Report for submission under the Framework Convention on Climate Change (.doc) (2005) from the NAEI Atmosperic Emissions Reports: basket emissions were 208.8 Mt C or 765.6 Mt CO2 (NB units) in 1990 compared with 665.8/181.6 in 2003 (13% reduction) (see tables ES1,ES2). (Therefore 2003 emissions per capita were: ~11 Mt CO2 or ~3 Mt C, given UK population of 60 million)
