Cambodias changing climate

 

 In 1968, Cambodia began a 3 year spike in CO2 emissions. In this year, President of the United States also announced that he was initiating bomb raids in Cambodia because they believed the Vietnamese were  supplying their troops from there. In 1970, as the CO2 emissions of Cambodia begin to decline, US troops are pulled out of Cambodia.

In Cambodia today, their per capita of CO2 emissions is .33. Compared to the per capita of the United States which is 4.3 metric tons of Carbon, which is .077%, less that 1/8 of that of the United States. Cambodia is 182 of 215, near the bottom of the list of carbon producers. In comparison, the United States is number 12 on the list of contributors, which is much higher than that of Cambodia. Cambodia's lack of CO2 emissions may be due to the fact that the people that live here do not have money to buy things like car, which are responsible for a large amount of CO2 emissions in many countries (cdiac.ornl.gov) In 2008 Qatar was the biggest emitter of CO2 at 14.58 metric tons of Carbon per capita. China's is 1.43 but their population is 1,338,000,000 so their carbon emissions is actually much higher, even though their rank on the list is of carbon emissions is number 78. Cambodia's cumulative carbon contribution is 15030 tons of carbon. China's is 36152087, Kenya
