Countries that consume a lot of energy tend to have large populations, advanced economies, or both. However, high country-level energy consumption may be coupled with low per capita consumption, because some countries are populous but still developing and largely rural, as is the case with India and Brazil. Take a look:
Check out Canada! I’m guessing the frigid climate and sheer size of the country translates to heavy-duty heating systems and much driving.
There’s not a one-on-one relationship between a country’ energy consumption and CO2 emissions, but the relationship is still pretty close:
Now for a comparison of the top country-level emitters and their per capita emissions:
