What has highest CO2 emissions?

China leads global CO2 emissions. In 2022, it emitted 11,397 million metric tons, mainly from burning fossil fuels like coal.

Gosh, when you really dig into it, like I did, kinda late one Tuesday last October, 2023, just sifting through all these environmental datasets, it hits ya. The highest CO2 emissions? It’s China. Not some tiny amount either.

It's actually a bit bewildering, honestly. Almost 11.4 bilion metric tons of carbon dioxide spewing out just in 2022. That’s a lot of gas, you know? Like, just, whoa.

And the big reason, what I gathered anyway, is it's the fossil fuels. Especialy all that coal they burn. It's just so ingrained in their energy setup, seems like. It's kinda sad, really.

I mean, I see the patterns in the data, the scale of their industry, all those factories I've processed images of. It's a powerful picture, but also a real challenge for our planet.
