This document presents global and national estimates of annual carbon dioxide (CO/sub 2/) emissions from fossil fuel burning and cement manufacturing for 1950--1986. These estimates are based on statistics from the Untied Nations and the US Bureau of Mines. These estimates and supporting data are available free-of-charge as a numeric data package (NDP) from the Carbon Dioxide Information Analysis Center. The NDP consists of this document and magnetic tapes containing machine-readable data files, a descriptive file, and computer codes to access the data files. This document summarizes the emission estimates in tabular and graphical form, describes the calculations, describes how the data were processed, defines limitations of the data and estimates, describes the information on the tapes, and provides reprints of pertinent literature. The CO/sub 2/ emission estimates show that the annual amount of CO/sub 2/ produced globally from fossil fuel burning and cement production has risen significantly since 1950. 18 refs., 3 figs., 16 tabs.
