Mapping 260 Years of Global Carbon Emissions

French economist Aurélien Saussay created this animated video.

The video shows historical responsibilities of each region of the world in the total amount of carbon emitted.

During the Industrial Revolution, Europe was the carbon hotspot for a close to a century.

In 1891 U.S. surpassed the U.K. as Earth’s leading CO2 polluter

Since last decade, China is the leading CO2 polluter
