Chinas carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions have grown at their fastest pace in more than a decade, increasing by 15% year-on-year in the first quarter of 2021, new analysis for Carbon Brief shows.
The post-pandemic surge means Chinas emissions reached a new record high of nearly 12bn tonnes (GtCO2) in the year ending March 2021. This is some 600m tonnes (5%) above the total for 2019.
Your graphic is old... CHina may already be 32-38% of the World total CO2 emissions

Energy-related carbon dioxide emissions are projected to increase by 1.5 billion tons this year, the second-largest increase in history, according to a new report from the International Energy Agency.
The IEA said that CO2 emissions are expected to rise nearly 5 percent in 2021, to 33 billion tons, reversing most of last years emissions decline caused by the Covid-19 pandemic. This years jump in greenhouse gas emissions will be the largest annual rise since the 2010 recovery from the global financial crisis.
The IEA said that the key driver of the emissions increase is the rise in coal use, forecasting that coal-burning in 2021 would come close to the all-time peak of 2014. Use of natural gas is also projected to increase this year above 2019 levels, and demand for oil is rebounding strongly, the IEA reported.

I think most of Florida is a karst - limestone which invites sinkholes sooner or later.

Normally, the fresh water from Okeechobee and the Everglades would flow through towards the ocean
