greenhouse gas, and the main driver of climate change and rising temperatures.
The United States has emitted more than 400 billion metric tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere since the birth of the industrial revolution. This makes the U.S. the biggest contributor to global carbon dioxide emissions by far, having produced almost twice the amount of emissions as the second biggest emitter, China. Carbon dioxide is a Cumulative carbon dioxide emissions from fossil fuel combustion worldwide from 1750 to 2020, by major country (in billion metric tons)
