Wind power share of global electricity demand vs Fossil CO2 emissions per capita

Wind power share of global electricity demand (point-in-time) and Fossil CO2 emissions per capita (annual). They are published at different intervals, so each is drawn on its own rather than matched period by period.

The series

Over time

Global. Wind power share of global electricity demand is published as point-in-time figures and fossil CO2 emissions per capita as annual ones, so they are drawn on separate charts, clipped to undefined, and no period is matched between them. Read each on its own.

Shared periods

Side by side

No period lines up: wind power share of global electricity demand is point-in-time and fossil CO2 emissions per capita is annual. A month and a year are not the same measurement window, so no row pairs them.
