We analyse the degree of polarisation in the international distribution of CO<Subscript>2</Subscript> emissions per capita in the European Union. It is analytically relevant to examine the degree of instability inherent to a distribution and, in the analysed case, the likelihood that the distribution and its evolution...</subscript>
