Carbon dioxide is one of the primary anthropogenic greenhouse gases that contribute to global warming.

This data set compares the contribution of four different countries to global carbon dioxide emissions.

Part B: Examine the Data Set

This is a set of climate data from the World Bank Database. This data represents carbon dioxide emissions per capita. Per capita literally means “for each person.” This number was calculated by dividing the total carbon dioxide production in that country by its population.

Per Capita CO₂ Emissions (metric tons)

United States	19.7	19.2	18.3	18.6	17.3
China	4.4	4.9	5.2	5.3	5.8
India	1.3	1.3	1.4	1.5	1.7

Part C: Build the Graph

Instructions: Create a graph below. Begin by giving it a relevant title, such as "CO₂ Emissions compared". Label the X axis as “Year”, and the the Y axis as "Per Capita CO₂ Emissions (metric tons)".

Next, input the actual data into the graph. Each group of data (U.S, China, India, Japan) will be graphed as a line. Students must graph the line with the lowest overall numbers first, followed by the next lowest and so on. The area between each line will then be filled in to create the area graph.

Per Capita CO₂ Emissions (metric tons)

Year	2005	2006	2007	2008	2009
United States	19.7	19.2	18.3	18.6	17.3
