I think that's sightly misleading, if you measured it by percentage of landmass then I suspect the rankings would be different.

But then you have to take into account that these large countries have large deserts, high mountainous areas, tundras and plains. As far as impact on the planet, total forested areas is what matters, not percentage of tree coverage. Suriname is #1 in percentage forest cover, but it's a small country. Brazil's forest coverage is much more important to climate change.
