The trend line can be drawn (approximately) using India as a starting point through the USA and Qatar The countries located above the trend line are mostly the countries, which GDP origins from mining and heavy engineering industry The other possible explanation of relatively high emission accompanied with low income is ineffective energy consumption (Kazakhstan, Trinidad and Tobago)
The group of countries is located below the trend line (Norway, Switzerland, Sweden, Hong Kong) Their position can be explained with use of technologies in the heavy engineering industry that consume less energy or energy saving technologies The other reason for such position is that industry of these countries is oriented on production of goods that do not lead to high CO2 emission (household electronics, computers, software) or comprise nonmaterial production (tourism, banking)
