10. Brazil
Emissions – 501,102.85 Ktons CO2
Brazil holds an interesting position when it comes to global warming. On one hand, it occupies the tenth position among the world’s countries responsible for global warming as one of the largest economies. On the other hand, it is the home of one of the greatest ecosystems and forests – the Amazon. While things have been going better in the past years as the country dropped a few spots on the list, mostly thanks to slowing down deforestation efforts, 500 million tonnes of CO2 is still a lot, no matter what you compare them to. As one of the countries that are most responsible for global warming, Brazil faces big threats, including regarding the state of the rainforest.
