Table 3 supports this showing that the traded emissions in 2008 total 7.8 gigatonnes (Gt) with a net CO 2 emissions trade from developing to developed countries of 1.6 Gt. Table 3 also shows how these processes of production, consumption and trade have changed from 1990 (commonly chosen for baseline levels) to 2008.
