Countries Most Polluting the World by Years [Video]

One of the common discussion topics of the world for years is global warming. This situation, which threatens the sustainability of our planet, directly affects future human generations and countless living things that do not harm nature. Although governments are carrying out various studies on the issue, no one knows how we will compensate for the damage we have done so far.

In a content we shared with you in the past days, we talked about which countries are the ones that pollute our planet the most and naturally cause climate change. According to the researches, the USA, China and India were at the top of the countries that were not in a good situation in terms of pollution. Turkey, on the other hand, was in the sixteenth place of the list. Now, we will talk about a much more comprehensive version of the data announced last week.

Which countries have polluted our planet the most since 1850?

Carbon Brief, which carries out striking studies on climate change and carbon emissions, recently published a video. Within the scope of this video, the team, who created an animation for the countries that pollute our planet the most and cause climate change since 1850 (the year the Industrial Revolution started) until today, provided remarkable data about the USA. Because, according to the animation created from the compiled data, the USA has been one of the countries that have contributed the most to climate change since 1850.

According to the data compiled by Carbon Brief, the USA has been one of the countries with the highest carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, especially fossil fuel use, since 1850. In those years, this country was followed by Russia, China, India, the United Kingdom, Indonesia, Canada, France, Ukraine and Germany. When we come to 2021, the countries following the USA are respectively; China, Russia, Brazil, Indonesia, Germany, India, United Kingdom, Japan and Canada follow. The amount of carbon emissions in the USA in 2021 has exceeded 509 million tons. . .
