Analysis
The most recent figure for global warming contributions by gas and source in India is 0.0013 °C, measured in 2024. That is the highest value across all 174 years on record.
Compared with earlier readings it is up 3.0% on the previous year and up 35.0% over ten years.
Over the whole period, global warming contributions by gas and source in India peaked at 0.0013 °C in 2024 and was at its lowest, 0 °C, in 1851.
That places India 4th out of 201 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.
