This is a list of countries ranked by total greenhouse-gas emissions in 2005. It is based on data for carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, perfluorocarbon, hydrofluorocarbon, and sulfur hexafluoride emissions compiled by the World Resources Institute.1 It includes bunker fuel emissions and land-use change. Note that data for land-use change are not available for lot of countries, so data for these countries are not comparable and percentage of global total is inaccurate.
