- Someone 11mo agoYou must have made a mistake in doing that. If you add “world” to the selection, Our World in Data adds them up for you, and you only have to divide 27253/181000. That gives you 0.1506, very close to 15%. https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/cumulative-co-emissions?tab=discrete-bar&time=latest&country=CHN~OWID_WRL https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/cumulative-co-emissions?t...
