List of Countries by CO2 Emissions 2022 – Latest Updated Data List – Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions are greenhouse gases that are generated by the burning of fossil fuels. A greenhouse gas (GHG) is a gas that absorbs and emits thermal radiation, creating a “greenhouse effect”. While carbon dioxide is important in maintaining the Earth’s habitable temperature, excessive CO2 emissions due to the increasing consumption of fossil fuels disrupt the Earth’s carbon cycle and accelerate global warming.
