How this figure is calculated

Contribution to temp rise by gas divided by Land area (sq. km), matched on country and year. Neither publisher issues this ratio as a series; it is computed here from both.

Contribution to temp rise by gas ÷ Land area (sq. km)

Computed from

Contribution to global mean surface temperature rise by gas Jones et al. (2025) – with major processing by Our World in Data
Land area FAOSTAT, Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO)

Statizoid computes this series; the underlying measurements belong to the publishers named above. The arithmetic is applied to every country and year where both inputs report, and nothing is estimated unless the page says so.
