Indonesia Co3 Analysis

Improved Essays
To begin, all data collected from figures 1, 2, and 3 are from the carbon dioxide analysis information center (cdaic). After reviewing the data of CO2 emissions for the country of Indonesia, there are a few details which grabbed my attention. The first feature noticed was the year of 1921 in which gas first began to emit in Indonesia. This effected the beginning of the graph/data totals, resulting with lower numbers (shown in figure 3). Liquid was by far the largest contributor for Indonesia towards fuel emissions. From the offset, it increased at a steady high rate almost every year. Randomly between every 15-20 years, it did decrease in liquid emission but eventually returned to its steady rate (shown in figure 3). Solid (second largest contributor) also increased at a steady rate and involved instances in which it would either dramatically increase or decrease in emissions within a year. …show more content…
For example in 2010 United States had an average population of 309,000,000 people, while China had 1,338,000,000 people. The graph in figure 3 shows the United States emitted more CO2 into the atmosphere than China. This overall makes an American citizen at fault for emitting more CO2 into the atmosphere because they have a smaller population, and are nearly even with China on their CO2 emissions. Furthermore, these results also explain why the United States is the leader for the most CO2 emissions out of countries Italy, China, Kenya, India, and Indonesia. Additionally, to provide supporting data in thousand metric tons, China has 31793558, India 9151461, United States 91229888, and Indonesia with 2555175. Seeing that this data is present, when dividing China’s total CO2 emissions number by United States, China does a difference of 35% in metric tons than that of the United States. When dividing India’s total CO2 emissions number from United States, the difference is only 10% metric

    Opposing Viewpoints in Context. Web.03 Aug.2015.The atmospheric concentration of greenhouse gases are changing due to human activities. The atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gases increased because of human activities, primarily due to the combustion of fossil fuels (coal, oil, and gas), deforestation and agricultural practices, since the beginning of the pre industrial era around 1750: carbon dioxide by nearly 30%, methane by more than a factor of two, and nitrous oxide by about 15%. Their concentrations are higher now than at any time during the last 420,000 years, the period for which there are reliable ice core data, and probably significantly longer.…

However, China is also the worst carbon dioxide emitter and polluter, with a multitude of smog filled cities. While industrialization has helped China attain a strong economy, it has caused an increase in the amount of pollution and toxic chemicals released into the air, ultimately taking a toll on the environment, health, government and overall well being of the population.…

    From the start of the 1900s to 1950, world population began to experience an exponential increases, more than doubling from one billion in 1927 to two and a half billion in 1950, the year carbon dioxide started reaching record concentrations (“World Population” 1). As carbon dioxide levels rose, the population would reach just over seven billion. This correlation occurs because as more people populate the earth, more people are driving cars, burning fossil fuels, and removing forests, which releases greater and greater quantities of carbon dioxide each year. While many are skeptical of the realities of climate change, ninety-seven percent of climate scientists agree…
