U.S. CO2 Emissions and Uptake
U.S. carbon dioxide emissions and uptake in millions of tons of carbon per year in 2003. The bar marked “Emitted” indicates the amount of carbon as carbon dioxide added to the atmosphere from U.S. emissions. The bars marked “Absorbed” indicate amounts of carbon as carbon dioxide removed from the atmosphere. The thin lines on each bar indicate estimates of uncertainty.
