A record 175 countries recently signed up to a historic agreement to limit global warming, and it stemmed from the fact not enough is being done to curb rising emissions.

Now there's an interactive graphic that shows your country's emissions as well as the fossil fuels it uses, such as coal and petroleum, to see how it is contributing to the problem.

It lets you click on countries to reveal those with the largest carbon footprints, with China leading the way spewing out 10540.8 million metric tonnes of the gas every year.

A record 175 countries recently signed up to a historic agreement to limit global warming. Now there's an interactive graphic that shows your country's carbon emissions and the fossil fuels it uses, such as coal and petroleum. This one shows emissions by country for 2014

The infographic, produced by British Gas and which is available to explore on its website, shows China's steep industrial growth trajectory over the past 20 years has seen its per capita emissions rise significantly.

It was also revealed in late 2015 that the country had been burning 17 per cent more coal than they had previously reported.

The graphic uses the latest publicly available data sourced from the Emission Database for Global Atmospheric Research (EDGAR) and the US Energy Information Administration.

Users can click on annotated bubbles and a moving timeline spanning from 1992 to 2014 to see the carbon footprints of different countries and how they have changed over time.

The infographic, produced by British Gas, shows how countries' emissions have changed from 1992 (pictured) to 2014. An automatic timeline changes the size of the bubbles corresponding to years

Clicking on the bubbles shows a breakdown of the fossil fuels countries use - coal (left), natural gas (right) and petroleum - their carbon footprint and world ranking in terms of the footprint. There are no details about renewable energy in the mix

The infographic, produced by British Gas, says China's steep industrial growth trajectory over the last 20 years has seen its per capita emissions rise significantly (shown in this graph). 'It was also revealed in late 2015 that the country had been burning 17 per cent more coal than they had previously reported,' it says

Clicking on the bubbles shows a breakdown of the fossil fuels they use, their carbon footprint and world ranking in terms of the footprint.

It shows that in 2014, China had the largest carbon footprint by country, followed by the US with 5334.5 million tonnes and India with 2341.9 million tonnes of CO2.

China's level of carbon emissions has increased by 298.7 per cent since 1992 and per capita footprint has also increased 135 per cent.

The infographic also shows the UK is among the 15 countries with the highest carbon footprints in the world – at number 14.

The US had the second largest carbon footprint in 2014 and its energy mix was dominated by petroleum (chart shown above). The infographic also shows the UK is among the 15 countries with the highest carbon footprints in the world – at number 14

The infographic shows that in 2014, China had the largest carbon footprint by country, followed by the US with 5334.5 million tonnes and India with 2341.9 million tonnes of CO2 (graphs shown above)

Looking at Europe, Germany has the largest carbon footprint at 767.1 million metric tonnes, followed by the UK, then France.

Interestingly Albania has seen the largest increase in in carbon emissions, up 72 per cent since 1992, while Macedonia has seen the smallest increase with 8.37 per cent.

However, the infographic doesn't show the countries' commitment to renewable energy.

For example, on 8 May Germany produced so much renewable energy it accounted for 87 per cent of the country's consumption, with solar, wind, hydro and biomass plants supplying about 55 GW of the 63 GW needed.

This infographic shows the carbon footprints of companies in America. The USA leads the way by emitting 5,334.5 million metric tonnes of carbon in 2014, followed by Canada and Brazil which both have far smaller footprints despite their fossil fuel industries

The infographic also shows the UK is among the 15 countries with the highest carbon footprints in the world – at number 14. The chart says the country's footprint has declined dramatically thanks to less use of coal and gas to generate electricity

This graphic shows countries' carbon footprint per capita in 2014, with Qatar way out in front with 40.9 million metric tonnes per person, possibly because of the way it desalinates water. The infographic doesn't show countries' commitment to renewable energy, however

For a few hours commercial customers were paid to use the power when prices went negative.

German clean energy think tank Agora Energiewende said the average renewable mix is 33 per cent and the share is growing every year.

The country plans on using 100 per cent renewable energy by 2050 and Denmark's wind turbines already sometimes generate more electricity than the country consumes, meaning any surplus can be exported.

With the planet heating up to record levels, sea levels rising and glaciers melting, the pressure to have the Paris Agreement enter into force and to have every country turn its words into deeds was palpable at the UN signing ceremony in May.

'The world is in a race against time,' UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said in his opening speech. 'The era of consumption without consequences is over.'
