Change in CO2 Emissions around the world

Summary

Outside of our three questions, our team was curious to see how each country differed from the other with their changes in CO2 emissions over multiple years.

This chart was intended to see if other countries outperform others in terms of their CO2 emissions, or if all countries produced around the same amounts of CO2. As we can see, China has had the highest change in CO2 emissions (6.96M), with India having the second highest(1.30M).

We can also observe that Middle Eastern & Asian countries tend to have a greater change in these emissions compared to other countries. These changes in CO2 emissions (in India & China particularly) would probably also explain them being countries with a notable amount of air pollution. Higher emissions from the change in CO2 emissions of these countries could also be in part because China only recently became a fully developed country (hence higher emissions overall) while India is still developing (hence a sudden increase in their emissions). From this, we can also see an outlier in the United States (because of how light its color is compared with other countries) with -146.73k of change.
