The Graph on CO2 Emission Created with Gapminder - Assignment Example

The trend line can be drawn (approximately) using India as a starting point through the USA and Qatar. The countries located above the trend line are mostly the countries, which GDP origins from mining and heavy engineering industry. The other possible explanation for relatively high emissions accompanied by low income is ineffective energy consumption (Kazakhstan, Trinidad, and Tobago).

The group of countries is located below the trend line (Norway, Switzerland, Sweden, Hong Kong). Their position can be explained by the use of technologies in the heavy engineering industry that consume less energy or energy-saving technologies. The other reason for such a position is that the industry of these countries is oriented on the production of goods that do not lead to high CO2 emissions (household electronics, computers, software) or comprise nonmaterial production (tourism, banking).
If we will look through the years, the dependence between these two parameters remains linear, and the emission constantly grows.

Developed countries introduced low-emission technologies within the next 10 years, particularly after signing Kyoto Protocol Read More
