Scroll down to the breakdown by year by country. None of the communist inclusive countries and continents even make the list.
South America, famous for its communist and socialist revolutions is barely a blip on that graph, as a whole continent.

Venezuela's entire government is funded by oil exports, making them, as a state a global sponsor of climate change.
People consume oil and the economic system they live in has nothing to do with that.

Appreciate you stopping but it's more than you don't even understand the data you're sharing
