1) Are you surprised by any of the data? If so, what are the surprises. If not, why not?
I was in fact a little bit surprised that Cuba and Estonia were able to decrease the amount of carbon that they were emitting, another thing that I had observed that was a little surprising was the amount of carbon Yemen and Angola had increased in a span of 2 decades, which did surprise me a little, but at the same time not because countries develop and populate which most likely led to the change of carbon.
2) What do you think the prospects are for future generations?
If countries continue to produce more and more carbon at this rate then future generations may need to prepare themselves and adapt to global warming and climate change, which could affect the terrain of the earth, for example some plants may cease to exist if it gets to hot. Though the simple solution would be to have factories stop producing carbon as a way to lower the carbon emissions, but it is not that easy as it may seem, since many countries are still in their developing stages as a country and need factories to produce essential needs for the citizens. But a possible way to stop the mass amount of mass production, is to find a new source that doesn’t release these types of gases.
