*********************************************************** All emission
estimates are expressed in million metric tons of carbon. Per capita emission
estimates are expressed in metric tons of carbon. Population estimates were
not available to permit calculations of global per capita estimates before
1950. Please note that annual sums were tallied before each element (e.g.,
Gas) was rounded and reported here so totals may differ slightly from the
sum of the elements due to rounding. Cement Gas Per Year Total Gas Liquids
