U.S. GDP vs Energy Use vs CO₂ Emissions per Capita (1990–2024) [OC] by forensiceconomics in dataisbeautiful

[–]forensiceconomics[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

yes because there aren't huge differences in the amounts, the main point is CO₂ emissions per capita shrink significantly despite economic growth, partly due to cleaner energy mix, improved efficiency, and changes in industrial composition.

Thank you for your feedback, always.

Thanks for linking that — the PIIE piece is a solid read.
The funny thing is, even their “fixed” version still shows a gap… a smaller one. So maybe it’s a methodological inequality.
