Figure 5 shows where GHG emissions associated with consumption in California were released in 2019. Blue shows emissions within the state itself (around 68%) which should be captured in a territorial inventory, green shows emissions which occurred in the other 49 states (around 18%), and pink shows emissions which occurred abroad (around 14%). This does not correspond with the estimate that territorial estimates are around half of CB estimates of emissions in 2019 (Young and Ingwersen, 2024). If 68% of 772 MMT CB emissions occur within the state, TE must be at least .68 * 772 = 525 MMT, but none of the three TE estimates cited in the previous section were that high. Similarly, from a per capita perspective, if 68% of 19.6 tonnes per capita CB emissions occur within the state, TE must be at least .68 * 19.6 = 13.3 tonnes per capita, but none of the three TE estimates cited in the previous section were that high.
