Egypt ranked 31 Top 50 countries by greenhouse gas emissions
Published in Daily News Egypt on 11 - 04 - 2007

CAIRO: Following is a ranking of the top 50 national emitters of greenhouse gases in 2000, showing huge gaps in the world picture of emissions in recent years. Countries facing emissions caps under the Kyoto Protcool, plus several others such as the United States, have posted emissions reports for 2004 to the U.N. climate change body over the past few months. But big developing countries such as China and India do not face any obligations under Kyoto and the latest widely available estimates of their emissions comes from the World Resources Institute for 2000. Kyoto ratifier Russia has not updated its U.N. data since 1999. A summary of latest available data for the top 50 emitters are shown below in millions of tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent.
