Enhance the carbon budget plot by:
-Adding 2022 emissions
-Adding UK emissions to the previous numbers

Changes proposed in this Pull Request

currently, the plot_carbon_budget_distribution from plot_summary uses the below numbers for plotting Europe's carbon emissions:
emissions.loc[2019] = 2.971372
emissions.loc[2020] = 2.691958
emissions.loc[2021] = 2.869355
This is technically missing the UK emissions and that's why there is a rather sudden drop in emissions (figure below). I tried calculating the UK emissions by taking the latest available numbers for UK from EEA_2018 (v23) and estimating their reduction based on the UK's total emissions reductions (Provisional UK greenhouse gas emissions national statistics, 2022).
I've also added the carbon emissions for 2022 using the latest EEA report from 2024 (v27) and again estimating the UK emissions for 2022. Here's what the graph would look like before :

and after:

Checklist

  • I tested my contribution locally and it seems to work fine.
