Indeed top climate scientists and biologists are telling us that reaching zero emissions is not enough – we then have to reduce atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) concentration from the current 394 parts per million (ppm) to 350 ppm (according to 350.org ) and thence to 300 ppm ( according to the latest science-informed 300.org ). The analysis below will tell you how many years your country has left before it exceeds its “fair share” of atmospheric GHG pollution.

The Historical Carbon Debt (aka Climate Debt ) of the World has been estimated at 12 Gt CO2 (12 billion tonnes CO2) in 1751-1900 and 334 Gt CO2-e for 1901-2008, for a total of 346 Gt CO2 in the period 1751-2008 (see “ Carbon dioxide in the atmosphere ”). ppm per year) (see “ 300,org – return atmosphere CO2 to 300 ppm ”). Fossil fuel burning yielding the greenhouse gas (GHG) carbon dioxide (CO2) is a major component of man-made global warming.
