Anthropogenic CO₂ budget for Australia during the 1990s. Fossil fuel CO₂ emissions (shown by the solid black line) and land-use based emissions (shown by the solid green line) were taken from the Australian Greenhouse Office's National Carbon Accounting System. The estimated EEZ CO₂ sink from this study is shown by the solid blue line with an associated uncertainty of approximately 20%. The sum of all these sources and sinks represent Australia's net CO₂ emissions (shown by the dashed black line).
