For example if there were 200,000 tonnes of CO2 emissions in 1990, there are now 400,000 tonnes in 2009 A 10,000% increase means that CO2 emissions increased 100 times on top of the original figure. For example if there were 200,000 tonnes of CO2 emissions in 1990, there are now 20,200,000 tonnes in 2009 1The Gambia withdrew from the Commonwealth 3 October 2013
