According to the annual versus cumulative emissions graphic below . . . (choose all that apply):

Group of answer choices

India, China and the US account for roughly half of all annual carbon emissions

All of South & Central America are equivalent to the annual 2016 emissions from Russia

China has the largest annual emissions in 2016 compared to all other countries

Global cumulative emissions from 1751-2016 is equivalent to 9.9 gigatons of carbon

The cumulative emissions from 1751-2016 of all of Africa and South & Central American are more than the cumulative emissions from the US

India now has more emissions annually than the country had cumulatively from 1751-2016
