Just from eyeballing the dates on the chart, I’m guessing a lot of those extra emissions are due to the oil industry and the long history of production within the United States. The US was the number one producer for a while, never really fell that far behind Russia or Saudi Arabia, and became (and I believe is still) the top producer again.

Does that make oil very cheap and therefore easily burned, or do you mean the emissions are a side-effect of drilling in the first place?

  A combination of both those factors, but primarily the latter.
