What the numbers say
In 2022, Argentina's carbon dioxide (CO2) net fluxes from LULUCF - Organic Soil (Mt CO2e) did not change 0 on 2021 (from -2.96 to -2.96).
Across the 21 yearly changes before that (2001 to 2021), the average change was +0.15 and a typical year strayed about 0.46 from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 0.3 standard deviations below that average, so it was an ordinary year: it sits within the range of normal year-to-year movement.
On record, the biggest yearly rise was 1.53 in 2019. The numbers show how large and when, not why; for the cause, look at what happened in that country in those years.
From 2013 to 2022 the straight-line trend is upward, about 0.42 a year. A straight line explains 76% of the movement over 10 observed years.
