Economies in developed countries have an effective impact on CO2 emissions. This is because emissions are mostly let out in factories and manufacturing businesses which let out fuels and gases. When the economy drops many of these businesses loose money to pay for their manufacturing businesses and the CO2 emissions drops. In addition, the  increase in natural gas has lead to the decrease of lower emissions. Furthermore, developed countries with good economies have an abundance of cars, trucks, and motor bikes that let out  CO2 emissions; however, when economies drop not only do many of these advantages decrease, but the costly oil prices have caused a decline in these vehicles which also release CO2 emissions. On the other hand, in developing countries such as China and India, the growth of coal and fossil fuels in newly developed factories and businesses is causing the growth of CO2 emissions.
