English: The variwide chart allows the visualization of a multitude of data dimensions in one easy-to-read diagram. These data dimensions are:

- Individual country data, such as China, South Africa, or the USA or a group of countries such as Middle East, Africa, or Australia/New Zealand, - Population by country or group of countries, - Per capita CO2 emissions, and - CO2 emissions growth year-over-year

The total CO2 emissions of a region are represented as a rectangular area. The height of each rectangle is proportional to the CO2 emissions per capita and the width is proportional to the population of the represented region. The regions are sorted by CO2 emissions per capita, from the highest to the lowest. The color of the rectangles indicate their growth rate: “heating up” is represented from light red to dark red, and “cooling down” goes from light blue to dark blue.
