How they compare
Mexico currently reports 150.68 Mt CO2e against 136.72 Mt CO2e in Argentina, a difference of 13.96 Mt CO2e.
That makes Mexico's figure about 1.1 times Argentina's.
The two have swapped places 3 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Argentina ahead.
Argentina ranks 13th and Mexico ranks 11th of 203 countries.

About this data
A measure of annual emissions of methane (CH4), one of the six Kyoto greenhouse gases (GHG), from the agriculture, energy, waste, and industrial sectors, excluding LULUCF. The measure is standardized to carbon dioxide equivalent values using the Global Warming Potential (GWP) factors of IPCC's 5th Assessment Report (AR5).
