This study intended to uncover the possible hidden dimensions associated with the type of distribution of global carbon dioxide emissions. Using fractal analysis, the number of underlying dimensions associated with such phenomenon was determined using the global distribution of carbon dioxide emission mined from the United Nations Development Program reports. It was found out that the global carbon dioxide distribution is no longer in its natural state (the distribution being not fractal), with fossil fuel consumption and the level of economic development as the major factors of its current state of distribution. Finding alternative ways to reduce fossil fuel consumption is recommended since currently the world is very much dependent on fossil fuels.
