Chapter 4, Problem 46Q

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

CDIAC publishes a list of the 20 nations for $C{O}_2$ emissions. Give a necessary explanation for the question that, how would these ranking change if they were listed per capita.

Concept introduction:

Carbon dioxide Information Analysis Center (CDIAC) was an organization within the US department of energy.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

CDIAC reports the per capita ranking on the basis of metric tons carbon emitted, rather than metric tons $C{O}_2$ . Qatar leads the world in per capita emission at 12.01 metric tons carbon. It should be checked whether this value be higher or lower if expressed on the basis of metric tons of $C{O}_2$ emitted.

Concept introduction:

Carbon dioxide Information Analysis Center (CDIAC) was an organization within the US department of energy.

In per capita method, all the carbon emission from a given area will be added then the value that we get will divide (per) by the number of people living it in that area (capita).
