	The CDIAC is located at the Oak Ridge National laboratory and functions underneath the US Department of Energy, focusing on global climate change research. The organization publishes a number of datasets, including data on climate, atmospheric gases, and vegetation. The only data from the CDIAC used in IFs is total fossil-fuel CO<sub>2</sub> emissions, which is available from 1751 to 2013, but has been imported to IFs beginning in the year 1800.

	The CO<sub>2</sub> emissions prior to 1950 were calculated using historical energy statistics found in academic publications. Post-1950 emissions data has mostly come from energy statistics published by the United Nations.
