Claim: The top five countries for passenger aviation-related carbon emissions were rounded out by China, the United Kingdom, Japan, and Germany.

Relevance (1 = gold evidence, 0 = mined hard negative): 1
Passage: Air transport in the UK accounted for 6.3 per cent of all UK carbon emissions in 2006.

Relevance (1 = gold evidence, 0 = mined hard negative): 1
Passage: In Europe, the average airline fuel consumption per passenger in 2017 was 3.4 L/100 km (69 mpg‑US), 24% less than in 2005, but as the traffic grew by 60% to 1,643 billion passenger kilometres, CO₂ emissions were up by 16% to 163 million tonnes for 99.8 g/km CO₂ per passenger.

Relevance (1 = gold evidence, 0 = mined hard negative): 1
Passage: Nevertheless, the country's total greenhouse gas emissions were the highest in the EU in 2017[update].

Relevance (1 = gold evidence, 0 = mined hard negative): 1
Passage: Over this time period, the US accounted for 28% of emissions; the EU, 23%; Russia, 11%; China, 9%; other OECD countries, 5%; Japan, 4%; India, 3%; and the rest of the world, 18%.

Relevance (1 = gold evidence, 0 = mined hard negative): 1
Passage: Based on annual emissions data from the year 2004, and on a per-capita consumption basis, the top-5 emitting countries were found to be (in tCO 2 per person, per year): Luxembourg (34.7), the US (22.0), Singapore (20.2), Australia (16.7), and Canada (16.6).

Relevance (1 = gold evidence, 0 = mined hard negative): 0
Passage: Like the majority of human activities involving combustion, most forms of aviation release carbon dioxide (CO) and other greenhouse gases into the Earth's atmosphere, contributing to the acceleration of global warming and (in the case of CO) ocean acidification.

Relevance (1 = gold evidence, 0 = mined hard negative): 0
Passage: At present aviation accounts for 2.5% of global CO emissions.

Relevance (1 = gold evidence, 0 = mined hard negative): 0
Passage: Due to projected growth in air travel, in the most technologically radical scenarios for having a better than 50 % chance of keeping global warming below 2 degrees Celsius, in 2050 aviation will make up 15 % of global CO2 emissions.

Relevance (1 = gold evidence, 0 = mined hard negative): 0
Passage: Institutional asset owners associations and think-tanks have also observed that the stated objectives of the Paris Agreement are implicitly "predicated upon an assumption – that member states of the United Nations, including high polluters such as China, the US, India, Russia, Japan, Germany, South Korea, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Canada, Indonesia and Mexico, which generate more than half the world's greenhouse gas emissions, will somehow drive down their carbon pollution voluntarily and assiduously without any binding enforcement mechanism to measure and control CO 2 emissions at any level from factory to state, and without any specific penalty gradation or fiscal pressure (for example a carbon tax) to discourage bad behaviour."

Relevance (1 = gold evidence, 0 = mined hard negative): 0
Passage: While the principal greenhouse gas emission from powered aircraft in flight is CO, other emissions may include nitric oxide and nitrogen dioxide (together termed oxides of nitrogen or NO), water vapour and particulates (soot and sulfate particles), sulfur oxides, carbon monoxide (which bonds with oxygen to become CO immediately upon release), incompletely burned hydrocarbons, tetraethyllead (piston aircraft only), and radicals such as hydroxyl, depending on the type of aircraft in use.

Relevance (1 = gold evidence, 0 = mined hard negative): 0
Passage: Due to projected growth in air travel, in the most technologically radical scenarios for having a better than 50% chance of keeping global warming below 2 degrees Celsius, in 2050 aviation will make up 15% of global CO emissions.

Relevance (1 = gold evidence, 0 = mined hard negative): 0
Passage: Aviation affects the environment due to aircraft engines emitting noise, particulates, and gases which contribute to climate change and global dimming.
