Analysis
Canada recorded 8.99 billion for cumulative co2 gas in 2024. That is the highest value across all 240 years on record.
Compared with earlier readings it is up 2.7% on the previous year and up 33.9% over ten years.
Over the whole period, cumulative co2 gas in Canada peaked at 8.99 billion in 2024 and was at its lowest, 0, in 1785.
That places Canada 4th out of 146 countries with data for 2024, putting it in the top 10%.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.
