Economically formed counteries impact greatly on CO2. This is because when they are economically developed, the people are wealthy enough to buy cars. when people drive, they give off excessive amounts of CO2. According to  http://www.iea.org  , "Global CO2 emissions rose by 4.6% in 2010, after having declined in 2009 due to the impact of the financial crisis, in particular on Western economies."  A western economy, in example of  U.S.A, is one of the western civilizations known to give off a high amount of CO2. to support this information I used  http://www.epa.gov/climatechange/ghgemissions/gases/co2.html as a resource.
