Per capita emission estimates are expressed in metric tons of carbon. Population estimates were not available to permit calculations of global per capita estimates before 1950. Please note that annual sums were tallied before each element (e.g., Gas) was rounded and reported here so totals may differ slightly from the sum of the elements due to rounding.
