Cumulative CO2 Emissions of International Transport

Description

The dataset of global cumulative CO2 emissions is from 1750. The baseline of this dataset is 1749.

The dataset includes also international transport cumulative CO2 emissions from 1950. The baseline of international transport is 1949.

This work considers the year 1783, when the first steamship was built, as the first year of the international transport CO2 emissions.

The global cumulative CO2 emissions including international transport are converted to the 1875 baseline, similar to the Global Warming baseline (1850-1900). 

The international transport cumulative CO2 emissions caused a 0.032°C temperature increase in 2020, 2.5% of the Global Warming.

Notes

Changes in this Version: Added 2020-2100 forecast based on annual average changes 1990-2020.
