This is a map of CO2 intensity (in millions of tonnes of CO2 emissions per 10,000 USD (1990 dollars) economic output) by country by year from 1960 to 2008. CO2 intensity is a measure of carbon emissions that is more consistent across countries of varying levels of wealth than CO2 emissions per person.

CO2 emissions data comes from the Global Carbon Budget. GDP Data comes from the Maddison Project. Population data comes from the UN World Population Prospects, 2012 edition.
