Remember, the data on the table shows average carbon footprint per person (per capita). To find out the total amount of carbon dioxide that each country releases into the atmosphere, we have to multiply the tons of CO₂ by the population of the country.

In 2010, the population of U.S. was about 308 million people. Use the bar graph and the population number to figure out how many tons of CO₂ the U.S. put out in 2010.
