TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe and synthesize data sets and methodology to quantify the five major components of the global carbon budget and their uncertainties, including emissions from land use and land-use change data and bookkeeping models.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe data sets and methodology to quantify the five major components of the global carbon budget and their uncertainties, including emissions from land use and land use change, and show that the difference between the estimated total emissions and the estimated changes in the atmosphere, ocean, and terrestrial biosphere is a measure of imperfect data and understanding of the contemporary carbon cycle.

TL;DR: Andres et al. as mentioned in this paper used historical energy statistics to estimate fossil fuel CO2 emissions back to 1751, using the methods of Marland and Rotty (1984) and Boden et al (1995).

TL;DR: Gilfillan et al. as mentioned in this paper described the annual update of the time series of emissions with estimates through 2017; there is typically a 2-to 3-year time lag in the processing of the two primary datasets used for the estimation of CO 2 emissions.
