CO2 emissions of Malaysia

Here's where we stand according to Earthtrends:


(Source: EarthTrends Country Profiles)

And this is what the graph tells us.

1. We overtook the world average in Co2 emission per capita sometime before 1998.

2. Our Co2 emissions more than tripled since 1975 (105 million metric tons in 1999).

3. By 1999, electricity generation, transportation and manufacturing & construction contributed nearly 80% of the total Co2 emission of the country.

It should be a relief to us that Malaysia is a signatory of the Kyoto Protocol (2002), UNFCCC (1994) and the Vienna Convention for the protection of the ozone layer (1989).

Bear in mind that these statistics are 8 years old. If anyone knows where to find newer data, please let me know.
