The study looked at how much carbon dioxide is released from burning fossil fuels in Iraq over time. They compared this to the total amount of CO2 emissions and the amount of CO2 released per person. The researchers found that the intensity of CO2 emissions decreased from 1971 to 1997, but then started to increase again. Total CO2 emissions went up by 65.176% during the study period, with the highest amount in 2018. The amount of CO2 released per person varied but stayed around an average of 3.49 metric tons per person, with the highest in 2013.
