The U.S. emits about five billion metric tons of carbon dioxide annually, which is more than twice that of all 28 countries of the European Union, showing a drastic difference in emissions.

The article highlights which states are still struggling with rising carbon emissions and which states are making progress in combating this serious environmental issue through effective policies.
Addressing the detrimental economic impacts of global warming necessitates awareness of the states that contribute most significantly to greenhouse gas emissions, as denoted by the Energy Information Administration.
