NOTES,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
"The methodologies used to estimate emissions constantly evolve and undergo major changes.  These improved methods are often used to revise estimates for previous years.  Therefore, some estimates in this table may not match estimates produced in previous reports, and some trends may not be consistent across years in which major methodology changes have occurred.
