Carbon Dioxide emissions in the United Kingdom (UK) from 1965 to 1979
(in million metric tons of CO2)
According to the source, the carbon emissions in this statistic reflect only those through consumption of oil, gas and coal, and are based on standard global average conversion factors. This does not allow for any carbon that is sequestered, for other sources of carbon emissions, or for emissions of other greenhouse gases.
