Led by China, the US, and the EU, humans release about 40 billion tons of CO2 per year, 8.4 billion from burning fossil fuels (coal, oil, and gas). Per capita, the US and Canada are the worst at more than 15 tonnes of CO2 per year. CO2 accounts for more than three-quarters of anthropogenic GHGs, while 7 million people die annually from air pollution.
