Are total emissions or per-capita emissions a better gauge when comparing the co2 emissions of various countries? why? emissions
per capita is a better gauge because countries with higher populations would be expected to have higher co2 emissions. total emissions are a better gauge because they let you see how much each country is producing. emissions per capita is a better gauge because it shows the number of people divided by the emissions per country. total emissions are a better gauge because it doesn't use the population.
The emissionspercapita measurement is a better because it shows the number of people divided by the emissions.
<h3>What is the difference between total emissions and emissions per capita?</h3>
The emissionspercapita show the emissions per each citizen or inhabitant, while the total emissions show only the emissions of the country.
<h3>Which one is better?</h3>
The percapita gauge is better because whether a country is polluting more or not depends on how much each citizen pollutes. This information is useful to create laws that reduce pollution.
