first version of dataset
- population from Gapminder's population estimation: https://github.com/open-numbers/ddf--gapminder--population
- co2 emission data before 1959 from CDIAC: https://github.com/open-numbers/ddf--cdiac--co2
- co2 emission data after 1959 and consumption emission data from Global Carbon Project: https://github.com/open-numbers/ddf--global_carbon_project--global_carbon_budget
The CO2 per capita time series in the CDIAC dataset starts at 1950, since "population estimates were not available [...] before 1950" to CDIAC. Most likely they use the UN population estimates. Note: CDIAC Total CO2 emissions time series does go back to 1751. The CO2 per capita time series in this dataset starts at 1751, since Gapminder uses its own population estimates referenced above, which contains estimates back to 1086 for certain countries. CO2 per capita is calculated and included when both Total CO2 emissions (CDIAC) and population (Gapminder) estimates are available for a country in a certain year.
