The big emitters

 From a tweet by Neil Kaye

Note:

1.  The petro-states have the highest emissions per capita. (dark brown)
2. There are lots of small countries in the top right-hand corner which together emit less than, say, Canada, even though some of them are high emitters per capita
3. India, Indonesia and Brazil are low per capita emitters, but because they have such large populations, they make up big chunks of total global emissions.
4. Apart from the small emitters in the top right corner, every country needs to cut its emissions by 50% over the next 10 years.  This applies especially to the US, China, India,Russia and Japan.
5. But this isn't going to happen fast enough.  India and China are still growing fast, the US is massively dysfunctional, Russia a huge petro-state unwilling to move away from fossil fuels, and Japan still seems not to accept the urgency of the need to slash emissions.
6. That means that global temperatures will rise 0.2 degrees this decade and 0.2 next.  We can kiss 1.5 degrees goodbye.
