Get the data

# The code below fetches the data from the "Our World in Data" Github page. 
# This is the data behind this graph/table: https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/cumulative-co-emissions
# If the url does not work you can also use the data provided, by uncommenting the line below.
df = pd.read_csv('./owid-co2-data.csv', header =0)
#df = pd.read_csv('https://nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com/owid-public/data/co2/owid-co2-data.csv', header=0)

Process the data

# Select only data for World
df = df[df['country'] == 'World']

# Create new index
df = df.reset_index(drop=True)

# Select year and Cumulative CO2
df = df[['year','cumulative_co2']]

# Turn year to integer
df['year'] = df['year'].astype(int)

# Subtract from every cumulative value what has been emitted until 1750
df['cumulative_co2']=df['cumulative_co2']-df['cumulative_co2'].iloc[0]

# For every row:
# 1. Calculate difference between "cumulative CO2 in year i" and "cumulative CO2 in last year" 
# 2. Divide this difference with "cumulative CO2 in last year" 

sums = []

for i in range(len(df)):
    share_gen = (df['cumulative_co2'].iloc[-1]-df['cumulative_co2'].iloc[i])/df['cumulative_co2'].iloc[-1]*100
    sums.append(share_gen)

# Add the new column of sums to the original DataFrame
df['share_gen'] = sums

# Select every fifth row
df_full = df
df = df.iloc[::5]
df = df.reset_index(drop=True)

# Select data for people who were born in the last 100 years
scope = int(100/5)
df = df.tail(scope).reset_index(drop=True)

Plotting

# Create a horizontal barplot of year against cumulative_co2

# Add rasters to the plot
ax.grid(axis='x', linestyle='-', alpha=0.5, color = 'white', zorder=1)

# Add names to axes
ax.set_ylabel('year of birth')
ax.set_xlabel('percentage')

# Add title
ax.set_title('Percentage of global CO2 emissions since 1750\n occurring in your lifetime (last updated: %s)' % df_full['year'].iloc[-1])

# Turn off the legend
ax.legend().set_visible(False)

# Turn on raster
ax.set_xticks(range(0, 101, 10));

# Find index in df of exact year born
year_born_index = df_full[df_full['year'] == year_born].index.tolist()[0]

# Find index in df of rounded off year born

# Round the year born to intervals of 5
year_born_round = int(5 * round(float(year_born)/5))

# Find index in df of year born
year_born_round_index = df[df['year'] == year_born_round].index.tolist()[0]
