Here are some tasks awaiting attention:

Article requests : Check out the article alerts; see if anything catches your fancy.
Cleanup : clean-up listing for Countries
Stubs : de-stub articles in Category:Stubs by region.
Other : add {{WPCountries}} to talk pages of related articles, and assess.

First bar plot shows wrong units

Nice plots, but the unit for the left hand pane of the left plots in the section Per capita CO2 emissions should be "megaton", not "gigaton" or the x-ticks are off by a factor of 1e3. Can you fix this User:Mgcontr ? 87.214.162.181 (talk) 19:49, 23 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I can change it. You are right left plots should be megatons (I will adjust scale to keep gigatons correct), but I think the right plots x-scale is correct: source Mgcontr (talk) 20:20, 23 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Table doesn't sort correctly

At least for the Emmisions per sq mile, the table sees a dot as a decimal separator, while the data shows it's a thousand indicator. Does anybody know how to adjust this in one go?

Worth doing because: Great source of information to be linked with Kyoto protocol

Other notes: I've done the French version, but don't have the courage to translate it myself. Please tell me when someone is in charge of it. I'm updating fr:Liste des pays par émissions de dioxyde de carbone par habitant by now.

Great article, but some problems

Thanks for this very useful article. I have some feedback: - Palau is listed as the highest CO2/capita/year emitter in the world, difficult for a subsistence economy to achieve. This looks wrong to me - it's listed elsewhere online (e.g. https://www.macrotrends.net/countries/PLW/palau/carbon-co2-emissions) as close to 15t/capita/year. - the table lists CO2/capita/year in units of kt, which usually means kilotons. I think this should be tons (tested by dividing country totals in table by population). — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bruceteakle (talk • contribs) 22:46, 24 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Time to update

New statistics for 2018 is available at https://edgar.jrc.ec.europa.eu/overview.php?v=booklet2019&dst=CO2pc&sort=des9 , published on the 26 Sept 2019. Tomastvivlaren (talk) 09:06, 3 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Considering net carbon flux emissions including those from land-use changes

This article would be greatly benefited by some focus on cumulative net carbon fluxes that consider land use changes rather than solely carbon emissions from industrial sources. If CDIAC data is correct, it appears that global CO2 emissions from land use changes were greater then those from fossil fuel combustion and cement production through around 1965, which is not represented with current information on the page. ^[1] — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pinus jeffreyi (talk • contribs) 20:24, 28 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Including Carbon Sinks?

Should the list factor in not only carbon emissions, but also the amount of carbon taken out by the environment (green plants)? — Preceding unsigned comment added by MySixthSense (talk • contribs) 03:40, 5 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
