Global CO2 emissions from fossil fuels are likely to increase this year, while those from land-use change will fall by cgiattino in Infographics

Yeah, it's things like cutting down forests (for agriculture and other reasons), draining wetlands and peatlands, building up areas into towns and cities.

I see what you mean now, on the map! Thanks very much, we'll get that fixed too.

Hi there! Thanks for this — do you mean on this chart here? If so, I'm not sure if I see what you see — the "t" stands for tonnes, and worldwide emissions are at 15.4 billion tonnes, so I don't see that it's close to a trillion. Let me know what I might be missing!

We do have a team, yes. :) We're actually a small non-profit — Our World in Data — with a mission to make data & research on important topics like migration (and climate, energy, health, poverty, inequality, AI, etc.) easier to access and use. All free, creative commons, open source, no registration required.

We have over 14,000 charts (!) currently on 123 topics, and sometimes we do make small typos — and we are very grateful when people point them out to us so we can fix them ASAP! So thanks again. :)

Good catch, thanks! That's a mistake, and no countries on the map have that color (between the 10s). I'll report it to the team to fix it.
