This is hugely incorrect
… equivalent to 281,315 metric tons of CO2. This is roughly the same quantity of emissions that 75 coal-fired power plants produce in a year, and it exceeds the annual emissions of 20 individual countries and territories.
A single medium sized (1MW) coal power plant outputs about 6.3 million metric tons CO2 per year, so the comparison is three magnitudes off
I wouldn’t trust any other numbers from that site without verification
Yeah, the 20th least polluting country is near 1000x worse than the estimated CO2 footprint in the article
