American Samoa vs Greenland: Methane (CH4) emissions from Agriculture
Methane (CH4) emissions from Agriculture over time
- American Samoa
- Greenland
How they compare
Greenland currently reports 0.0045 Mt CO2e against 0.004 Mt CO2e in American Samoa, a difference of 0.0005 Mt CO2e.
That makes Greenland's figure about 1.1 times American Samoa's.
The two have swapped places 4 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Greenland ahead.
American Samoa ranks 189th and Greenland ranks 187th of 201 countries.
Greenland has averaged higher in every one of the 6 decades both report.

About this data
A measure of annual emissions of methane (CH4), one of the six Kyoto greenhouse gases (GHG), from the agricultural sector. This includes emissions from livestock (IPCC 2006 codes 3.A.1 (enteric fermentation, 3.a.2 (manure management) and crops (IPCC 2006 codes 3.C.1 Emissions from biomass burning, 3.C.7 Rice cultivations). The measure is standardized to carbon dioxide equivalent values using the Global Warming Potential (GWP) factors of IPCC's 5th Assessment Report (AR5).
