World Vitals / Emissions by gas and source
Track carbon dioxide and greenhouse gas emissions with source year and method notes.
Greenhouse gas pages should distinguish fossil CO2, land-use change, methane, nitrous oxide, and consumption-based accounts.
The primary charts now come from normalized database observations. Snapshot cards remain useful for latest values, but time series and paired relationships get chart types that match the question.
Database charts
These charts use normalized observations from the World Vitals database. Time-series charts show change; scatter plots show paired relationships where the data actually supports comparison.

The remaining gap is still large in human terms, but the historical direction is clear.

Metric snapshots
Snapshot and live-rate cards are kept separate from historical charts so they do not pretend to show a trend.
