Request the source? I researched and calculated the cumulative percentage of global carbon emissions from major economies since the industrial revolution: - United States: 24% - China: 15% - Russia: 6.7% - Germany: 5.2% - United Kingdom: 4.4% - Japan: 3.8% - India: 3.5% - France: 2.2% - Canada: 1.9% - Ukraine: 1.7%
source from Global Carbon Project, is this reliable?
I added up the 2023 numbers from here: https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/cumulative-co-emissions?t...
You must have made a mistake in doing that. If you add “world” to the selection, Our World in Data adds them up for you, and you only have to divide 27253/181000. That gives you 0.1506, very close to 15%.

Oops. You're very right. Math error on my part :( thank you for the correction.
