We are fourth, as of 2018, beaten out by Saudi Arabia, Kazakhstan, and Australia in spots one, two, and three respectively, for CO2 emissions/ capita. Interestingly, Canada is very close to us at 5th. We are in a distant second place to China for world's most polluting country in total (approx. 30% of the world's emissions compared to 15% for us). Nothing to be proud of, of course, but we are doing more to turn that around than pretty much any other country in the world.
