The PRIMAP-hist national historical emissions time series

TLDR
In this article, the authors combine several published datasets to create a comprehensive set of emissions pathways for each country and Kyoto gas, covering the years 1850 to 2014 with yearly values, for all UNFCCC member states and most non-UNFCCC territories.
Abstract
. To assess the history of greenhouse gas emissions and individual countries' contributions to emissions and climate change, detailed historical data are needed. We combine several published datasets to create a comprehensive set of emissions pathways for each country and Kyoto gas, covering the years 1850 to 2014 with yearly values, for all UNFCCC member states and most non-UNFCCC territories. The sectoral resolution is that of the main IPCC 1996 categories. Additional time series of CO2 are available for energy and industry subsectors. Country-resolved data are combined from different sources and supplemented using year-to-year growth rates from regionally resolved sources and numerical extrapolations to complete the dataset. Regional deforestation emissions are downscaled to country level using estimates of the deforested area obtained from potential vegetation and simulations of agricultural land. In this paper, we discuss the data sources and methods used and present the resulting dataset, including its limitations and uncertainties. The dataset is available from doi:10.5880/PIK.2016.003 and can be viewed on the website accompanying this paper ( http://www.pik-potsdam.de/primap-live/primap-hist/ ).

EDGAR v4.3.2 Global Atlas of the three major greenhouse gas emissions for the period 1970–2012

TL;DR: The Emissions Database for Global Atmospheric Research (EDGAR) v4.3.2 as mentioned in this paper is the most recent version of the EDGAR emission inventory, which provides global emissions data for greenhouse gases (GHGs), and for multiple air pollutants.

Global food system emissions could preclude achieving the 1.5° and 2°C climate change targets

TL;DR: It is shown that even if fossil fuel emissions were eliminated immediately, emissions from the global food system alone would make it impossible to limit warming to 1.5°C and difficult even to realize the 2°C target.
