CO2 Emissions Over Time
This stacked area chart visualizes global CO2 emissions over time from 1790 onward, broken down by source categories and fossil fuel types. The five segments represent Gas, Liquids, Solids, Cement Production, and Gas Flaring, with the chart emphasizing the dominant historical contributions of solid fuels. The visualization uses d3.stack, d3.scaleTime, and d3.area with curveBasis to create smooth stacked areas. Labels are positioned automatically using the d3-area-label library, while an ordinal color scale from d3-scale-chromatic distinguishes each category. The chart is fully responsive and includes axis tick marks and a rotated y-axis title, with basic tooltips showing segment names on hover.
