I analyzed CO2 emissions from 2022’s top carbon producers and identified 22 countries that reduced their emissions, using a focused logarithmic scale for clarity.
**Bar Graph**: Each of the 22 countries is represented with a distinct color on a focused logarithmic scale, clearly showing the percentage reduction in emissions.
**World Map**: The world map complements the graph by color-coding countries.
Your world map could be a lot better. Make the color a continuous gradient function of reduced (or increased) emissions. Don’t just have two values of <-10% and <0%.
We (Italy) have reduced emissions because of our poor economic state.
/s (or not, considering that some of the countries with the largest percentage declines are Ukraine, Venezuela and Israel).
Thanks for this chart.
Your graph is only showing two data points per series. None of the inner part of the chart seems to convey important information, all is said on the axis to the left and right. In my opinion, you might prefer to visualize this as a bar chart, with one value per country – the reduction. Alternatively you could have a more complex bar layout, with one bar for 2012 and one for 2022. Perhaps overlay a line to show the percentage change
Regarding the percentage change. How did Ukraine reduce its output by more than 100%? Is that a quirk of the formula (i.e. using the 2022 value as baseline as opposed to 2012) or did they do something with carbon credits? Is it a wartime statistics thing?
Ukraine: -130%. So, they have negative emissions now?
Missleading as some countries could still be ahead of green ones. Gives false optics. Also emissions numbers are never reliable because they are counted WILDLY different.
I see data, but nothing beautiful. Hell, it is not even mediocre, it is worse.
Interesting chart! Would be cool to see one of carbon consumption (as opposed to emission) to compare. For example the UK has been doing a good job reducing national emissions but this is largely the result of deindustrialisation – we just consume products made dirtily elsewhere.. just a thought! Not sure if data for this is readily available.
