- Iraq
- Mexico
How they compare
Iraq currently reports 163.16 Mt CO2e against 150.68 Mt CO2e in Mexico, a difference of 12.48 Mt CO2e.
That makes Iraq's figure about 1.1 times Mexico's.
The two have swapped places 6 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Iraq ahead.
Iraq ranks 10th and Mexico ranks 11th of 203 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Iraq averaged higher in 2 and Mexico in 4.

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).
